I’m almost groaning as much as the other time. Rebelliousness is awful. God, may I remember what You’ve taught me because I cannot “live” in any other way…!
Do you prefer to live in seeming darkness? Have you ever been afraid of your deeds to be exposed by the “light?”
I know that no one likes their sin to be known to all, even if they might be proud of it. Or there at has been one time where they have this feeling of shame about it. At least one moment!
God does not like sin. He doesn’t even like anyone’s sin! He either will punish the ones who have not been redeemed or will give consequences to believers who continue to go in the way they act that they might claim they only know how.
But there is hope in the midst of people who feel they only know sin. We need a church to help guide us the right way. A real bible-believing church!
Whether we know that or not we need reassurance through fellowship and to seek His goodness.
We need to be inside of Christ’s words if we don’t read the bible. Also there is need to go out of our way to give time to Him to read His word also.
Speaking of His word:
The Lord is my light and my salvation. Psalm 27:1
Like a guiding light we should depend a little more every day on Him and also know and remember who saved us from that sin!
If we continue on in our old life, we might become seemingly hopeless. I have had such depth to my own sin I had terrible sad emotions after a while.
But if we know our strength is in the Lord then we can realize that we have hope. There is always a reason to move on and press on, even if a way through life even seems impossible!
Or maybe you haven’t learned about true life in Jesus.
From what I went through I experienced life from knowing Christ. He is real. I can only say that to you at the very least but I pray and hope that you get to experience Him too!
As we close out this time, this month that is well-known I want to share just how proud I am that Christ did so much to change me!
When I wasn’t listening to what He was telling me, I found a hope eventually that was a great comfort. And that was only by being as faithful as I could be.
In these trying times, I found a true path by looking for what else God had in store for me.
Thought the relationship didn’t work out at the time, I still prayed and tried to be faithful to Him in the midst of not knowing who God would send me.
I found that woman after waiting on the Lord. To see just how amazing living a life for Christ can be it is true we have to know that we have sin and cannot know God because of it.
We have sin. An example can be a man who has slept with alot of women. That is wrong, right?
If you think that is okay because he might be an adult it is bad because one day he will be accountable to God.
We all have sin. If we don’t know a good that can save us from it we could be lost and without Christ. And spend eternity in a place called hell.
If we have no hope from God’s Son we have no hope, no matter what the world may say!
It is a sad truth that this world has fallen to sin long ago. Adam choosing to sin was so great that the bible doesn’t even claim that Eve helped do it. It is said that Adam had a responsibility and because he instead of walking with and living for God in close intimacy he chose to eat that fruit in the garden of Eden the bible says, “sin entered the world through one man.” (part of Romans 5:12)
But surely if sin is so vast we can find a way to save ourselves right? Nope.
But God made a way because He sees something in you and wants you to know how much He loves you.
In the bible John 3:16 it says “For God so loved the world that He gave His only son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
You might not be going to heaven but God made a way so that would not be your destiny today.
God gave us Jesus not because He deserved to die but because He was perfect and without evil in his heart. He loved the Lord and we should at the very least want Him in our lives to be like Him.
He is described as the “Lamb of God” because He was without blemish (He was perfect!) and to stop sin from prevailing in the hearts of all people He had to die in their place.
Christ took the world’s sin. He perished for everyone’s sin. He also died for both your sin and mine!
He faced horrible punishment for your sin, was bled by whipping and was tortured on the cross because his blood needed to be spilled for man’s penalty.
The bible says, “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.” (Hebrews 9:22)
Then Christ passed away on the cross. His dead body was laid in a tomb. But then after three days, Jesus Christ rose again!
Like a light of the world He can live on in people’s hearts who want to live for Him but first they must want a relationship with the Lord of our lives.
We might want to live on in our sin but God made a way where no one would have to.
That is why to not be in “darkness” is an awful place to dwell in so it is better to see how God sees us and experience the truth of His great love.
We don’t deserve Jesus but yet here we are, finding out about Him!
If you feel led pray this prayer:
God I found out that I can have no hope without what I thought was you. I have sin and it is sin that is undoable by my own actions. I don’t want to end up in a bad place because I heard that you really did send Your Son Jesus Christ to die for my sin. I am grateful that He paid that penalty, I am also glad that He was able to show He had power over death. I want to live a life where I can live forever in Your Son Jesus. To live a relationship I want to start living for Him. Thank you for hearing me. You are my true love in this life. Change me as I follow Your ways.
Now one more verse:
Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. Isaiah 60:1
May you live for a glory that will send you on a journey of life and through love that you are amazed by. Have a blessed day reader.
