I have a question:

You know how if you are living in sin you need to go before God and ask for forgiveness? What if you do something wrong, for example, I kick friend's dog. If no one witnesses or knows and I go before God and repent, say I am truly sorry and receive forgiveness. What if a year later my sister asks me, "have you ever kicked your friend's dog?" Am I obligated to tell the world my truths? I know this is a silly example but what about sins that are more serious... you know? Say I was married and I had an affair? Or if someone had an abortion. I know those are more extremes but are we obligated to be honest about sins of the past? If we are no longer in sin what is are obligation? Shouldn't it be between God and each of us? OR are we obligated to be open with the world of our sins.

I'll throw out a few things and hopefully they will help.

Wisdom and discernment needs to be the leader when sharing. We as Christians are not obligated to be open with the world in the sense of giving them something to gossip about, but the Lord does want us to testify to the things He has done for us. So in the example of the sister asking, I would want to know why she wants to know and proceed from there.

Yes, there are situations when we need not go any further than repenting to God, but more often than not, there is another person involved and the Lord will require us to make things right.

My husband just "happen" to read this story to me while I was typing this to you. To coincidental not to be lesson.
