Enabling sin is just as wrong as committing it. God calls us to stand against evil, not to agree or allow it. Sin separates us from God, and when we enable others to sin, we are complicit in their wrongdoing.
The Bible is clear on this: “Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law” (1 John 3:4, KJV). This includes allowing, encouraging, or turning a blind eye to sin.
Real-World Examples of Enabling Sin:
- Allowing Unmarried Couples to Sleep Together in Your Home: If you allow unmarried couples to share a room in your house, you are enabling fornication or adultery. Even if they already live together, your agreement with this behavior is sinful. Politely inform them that it goes against your faith and is not permitted in your home.
- Ignoring Dishonest Behavior at Work: If a coworker frequently lies or cheats, and you cover for them or lie (false witness), you’re enabling sinful behavior. God calls us to hate evil (Psalm 97:10) kjv and stand for truth.
- Supporting Addictions: If a friend or family member struggles with substance abuse, giving them money or making excuses for their behavior is enabling their sin. Helping them remain in bondage instead of guiding them toward recovery is something God will hold against you.
The Consequences of Enabling Sin:
When we enable sin, it hinders our prayers and separates us from God. Isaiah 59:2 KJV warns, “But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear.
” Our love for God should compel us to lovingly confront sin rather than support it. Be a light in the darkness by standing firm in your faith and not enabling (agreeing with) others to sin.
If you have been an enabler in sin, repent with remittance. Ask God to show you how you are enabling others in sin and give you the grace to stop being an enabler.
1 John 3:8 KJV “He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God (Jesus Christ) was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.”
Three Action Steps to Stop Being an Enabler
Set Clear Boundaries: When someone asks you to support or cover up their sinful behavior, respond with clarity and firmness. You can say, “I care about you, but I can’t support choices that go against my beliefs. I’m here to help in ways that lead to positive change, but I won’t participate in actions that hurt you or dishonor God.”
Offer an Alternative Help: Instead of giving in to requests for money or covering for bad behavior, redirect the conversation toward genuine help. For example, if someone with an addiction asks for money, you can offer, “I can’t give you money, but I’m willing to help you find resources to get the support you need.” This demonstrates love while standing against enabling sin.
Be Honest and Speak the Truth in Love: Don’t shy away from addressing the situation directly. If someone is living in sin and asking for your approval or participation, be honest. You can say, “I love you, and that’s why I must be truthful. The path you’re on is destructive, and I cannot support it. I’ll always be here to encourage you toward what’s right.”
By taking these steps, you can show love without enabling sinful behavior, helping others in a way that aligns with God’s will and encourages real transformation.

CALL TO SALVATION
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Romans 10:9-10 9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation
John 3:5-6 5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is the Spirit.
