Excuses... Excuses...

In the coming Judgment, excuses like "God knows I'm only human..," etc., will suffice no more than that excuse would grant pardon in a court of law. God will not look over any sin{*1} that is committed with premeditation and without remorse{*2,3}. Yet remorse by itself; if lacking the works that evidence its genuineness; is merely feeling of guilt. Godly sorrow{*4,5} leads one to; in diligence; recommit to abiding in Jesus{*6,7}.

[*1] --> Acts 17: 30 "Therefore, having overlooked the times of ignorance, God now commands all people everywhere to repent, -HCSB
[*2] --> Hebrews 6:4-6 NKJV
(4) For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, (5) and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, (6) if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.
[*3] --> Hebrews 10:26-31 NKJV
(26) For if we deliberately sin after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, (27) but a terrifying expectation of judgment and the fury of a fire about to consume the adversaries. (28) If anyone disregards Moses' law, he dies without mercy, based on the testimony of two or three witnesses. (29) How much worse punishment do you think one will deserve who has trampled on the Son of God, regarded as profane the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and insulted the Spirit of grace? (30) For we know the One who has said, Vengeance belongs to Me, I will repay, and again, The Lord will judge His people. (31) It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God!
[*4] --> Acts 26:20 but declared first to those in Damascus and in Jerusalem, and throughout all the region of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent, turn to God, and do works befitting repentance. –NKJV
[*5] --> 2Corinthians 7:10-11 HCSB
10 For godly grief produces a repentance not to be regretted and leading to salvation, but worldly grief produces death. 11 For consider how much diligence this very thing-this grieving as God wills-has produced in you: what a desire to clear yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what deep longing, what zeal, what justice! In every way you showed yourselves to be pure in this matter.
[*6] --> John 15: 6 If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. -ESV
[*7] --> 1John 2:3-6 NKJV
(3) Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. (4) He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. (5) But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected tin him. By this we know that we are in Him. (6) He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

[... remember, we have no excuse since we are given the Holy Spirit; which both produces the will and ability to do what pleases God{Philippians 2:13}]

2Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves to see if your faith is genuine. Test yourselves...
--> do you make excuses for your sin or do you, in reverent fear, repent and abandon the sin for which the Spirit convicts you?
Proverbs 16:6 By steadfast love and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for,
and by the fear of the Lord one turns away from evil.
