"Woe to thee that spoilest...and dealest treacherously...When thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee." Isaiah 33:1
The law of retribution has not changed; "an eye for an eye" still stands. Though Jesus clarified the issue on the willful level (Matthew 5:38-42), He did not say anything about the consequential level. Your actions still have consequences; your choices can still lead only to life or death. (Deuteronomy 30:19).
"The wages of sin is death," and that principle does not change because you are born again. Though you are free from the final end of sin, and though Christ's blood washes us clean from sin continually, we are not free from the consequences. Sin breeds death. Get it through your head: sin breeds death. There is no other thing that it breeds, no other result that its equation can produce. Whether you are saved or not, on this issue, is irrelevant; the consequences of sin have not changed, and our choices still release either life or death into the world.
"Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap," and though you are forgiven forever in the eyes of God, you can never escape this principle of the universe: evil can only come of evil, good can only come of good. Choose ye this day whom ye will serve, but know what you're getting into. Sin only breeds death; it has no other children.
"Death is an only child.
Sin has no other sires
No other heir,
No other inheritance
To offer the sons of men..."
