Sins Forgiven Just Like That!

Sins Forgiven Just Like That!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who confess their sins knowing God is faithful to forgive sins and cleanse from all unrighteousness. In Jesus’ name, amen.

It has been said, “Confession is good for the soul.”

Romans 3:23 (ESV) says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”

The response in 1 John 1:9 (ESV) gives hope to the hopeless:

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

Sins forgiven? Amazing! Heartfelt confession is a small price to pay for having sins wiped clean.

Confess now. Be set free!

Confess and Forsake Sin!

Confess and Forsake Sin!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who confess their sins and turn from their evil ways. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Some people live life while their sins go unconfessed. Trying to hide transgressions can become all-consuming.

Why not consider the alternative as it is outlined in Proverbs 28:13 (ESV).

“Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper,
but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.”

Why not chose confession., for it says in 1 John 1:9 (ESV),

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

You can be free through faith. It says in John 8:31-32 (ESV),

“So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, ‘If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.’”

Free yourself from the slavery of unconfessed sin.

Abide in Jesus, and the truth will set you free.

Walk in God’s Ways?

Walk in God’s Ways?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who walk in your ways. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Psalm 119 is the longest psalm.

The psalm is an acrostic, meaning there is one section for each of the letters in the Hebrew alphabet.

The law and the statues of the Lord are featured throughout Psalm 119.

Psalm 119:1-3 (ESV) is about those who are blessed.

“Blessed are those whose way is blameless,
who walk in the law of the Lord!
Blessed are those who keep his testimonies,
who seek him with their whole heart,
who also do no wrong,
but walk in his ways!”

Do you walk in God’s ways? Or, have you gone astray? Praise God he is a forgiving God?

When you stumble, remember 1 John 1:9 (ESV).
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

The Effects of Sin?

The Effects of Sin?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know they have sinned and  encounter God. In Jesus’ name, amen.

The notes in the English Standard Version say Psalm 38 is often called a “penitential” psalm. It was written by David, who lays his troubles before the Lord.

Hear the psalmist’s cry in Psalm 38:1-3 (ESV):

“O Lord, rebuke me not in your anger,
nor discipline me in your wrath!
For your arrows have sunk into me,
and your hand has come down on me.

There is no soundness in my flesh
because of your indignation;
there is no health in my bones
because of my sin.”

God hears our prayers.

Remember what 1 John 1:9 (ESV) says,
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

Come before God humbly with whatever is on your mind.
