GETTING RID OF SIN

 

GETTING RID OF SIN

Prov. 28:13 People who cover over their sins will not prosper. But if they confess and forsake them, they will receive mercy. NLT

The pathway to God is never a cover-up. You will never find your way to God by glossing over or covering up sin. Sin must be admitted and confessed before you will ever find peace with God. You must take responsibility for your sin before God will accept you. The Lord guarantees that he will forgive all those who come before Him humbly with a contrite heart. He will never turn anyone away.

You may think that you are alright doing things your way. You may think that sin is no big deal, and you ignore it. You may think that you are getting away with it and it doesn’t matter. But, God knows every sin and holds us accountable for every one of them. He will judge us for our sins. We have no chance of escaping His knowing eyes and we will be judged without mercy, if we don’t have Christ in our lives. Jesus is the only hope we have for us to receive mercy from God. Only Jesus can get rid of the sin problem we have. Only Jesus can forgive us and remove them from God’s sight.

Is Jesus your Savior today? Have you been trying to cover up your sins? Or, perhaps, you have tried pretending they don’t exist. Perhaps no one knows about your sins. God knows. He knows and invites you to come to Jesus right now so He can get rid of them. Will you let the Lord have His way with you?

And, just a word of caution. Don’t ever get the idea that you do not sin. You do. We are not God; we are not perfect. Be quiet before God and let Him show you things that are not right, and He will.
