The Lord is not too
weak to save. His ability to save is
stronger than the worst of sinners.
There is no one who is beyond God’s saving grace if they humble
themselves before Him, confess their sins, and turn to Him for
forgiveness. He hears and answers every
sincere prayer of repentance.
Sometimes we let sin
get in-between us and God. The more we
let sin into our heart, the more distant God becomes to us. It is not that God has wandered away from us;
we have wandered away from Him. God has
not changed. He is as He always was and
always shall be. He hears and answers us
when we call on Him, when we approach Him with humble hearts. Sin breaks off the lines of
communication. It prevents God from
hearing us when we call on Him.
If it seems like the
Lord is no longer near to your heart, it is probably because of a sin problem
you have. If your prayers keep bouncing
off the ceiling, you need to first examine your heart before God. If you don’t know what your sin might be, ask
the Lord to show you. He will not hide
it from you. He wants you to know your
sin so you can confess it and be forgiven.
Honesty of heart is
essential when dealing with sin. We must
admit it before God when we sin. There
is no way to avoid this step. Confession
involves taking responsibility for our sinful choices. Sin is done willfully and we must declare it
so before God. Sin cuts us off from God
and unless it is dealt with, God will turn away from us. He cannot overlook sin; it must be dealt
with. He is holy and without holiness of
heart, no one will see God.
If we confess our sin,
He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sin and cleanse us from all
unrighteousness. I John 1:9
