Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man to whom the LORD shall not impute sin (NKJV).
–Romans 4:7-8
One of the great truths of salvation is that you and I can forget the guilt of the past and the stained pages of yesterday and begin life anew! How awesome it is to know the forgiveness, the glorious love of Jesus Christ.
We discussed yesterday the truth that every man, women, and child, no matter how good a life they have lead, are not perfect, have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God.
The reality is all of us, even the heroes of the Bible, have committed sinful acts against God and man. Think of King David, not the psalmist, not the hero who killed the wicked Goliath, nor the powerful king of Israel, but the man who committed adultery and then planned the death of an innocent man so that he might continue to sin. David, despite the fact God had protected and blessed him time and time again, choose to delve deeply into sin. When confronted with his wicked actions, David repented. Though there were earthly consequences of his sinful actions, David was restored in his relationship with God. Because David fully repented, he knew the joy of forgiveness.
Today, thank God that all your sins…past, present, and future…are forgiven because of God’s forgiveness through Christ Jesus!
PRAISE GOD THAT THROUGH CHRIST’S FORGIVENESS, YOU WERE ABLE TO BEGIN LIFE ANEW!
