NOW HOW DID YOU FIND THAT OUT?
Sin, if not confessed, will be exposed.
I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. Psalm 32:5
I don’t know about you but I had a smart Mom and Dad. Just when I thought I had them fooled about something I had done or was about to do, they seemed to know more about it than I did. They knew more about me than I knew about me. I used to think, “How did they find that out? Are they psychic?
Child of God, our Saviour knows our sin. He has a way of convicting us of our sin. If we do not confess and forsake it, He will expose it. Listen to a couple of scriptures;
Proverbs 28:13, “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.”
1 John 1:8-10, “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”
What will it take to get your attention about the sin in your life? Who will have to suffer because you will not confess or forsake? Child of God, take heed to the Word so God can use you for His glory, for your good, and the good of others!
NOTHING BETWEEN MY SOUL AND THE SAVIOUR
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you,” Matthew 6:33.
As we read in Exodus 20 we see the first of the Ten Commandments where it says, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” When our vertical relationship with the Lord is right our horizontal relationships with our fellow man is correct as well. But when we become our own god, thinking we know what's best for our lives, when we, like Lucifer, exalt ourselves before our Lord and Saviour, judgment stands knocking at the door.
Make sure there is nothing between you and The Saviour this morning. If there is, confess and repent of it!
MIA- REPENTANCE
Sin and hell are married unless repentance proclaims the divorce. -Spurgeon
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9
I believe many people make salvation harder than what scripture proclaims. I believe they read into the Word of God something that just isn’t there. I do not know why they do this other than to make themselves seem to be more intellectual but many people are going to hell because they believe they are not and cannot be part of the chosen few.
While I do believe there will only be a few that repents and comes to Jesus, it’s not because God doesn’t offer it to them, it because many will not repent and choose to serve God. They will not accept Jesus so they choose to spend an eternity in a devils hell.
Have you repented? Have you chosen to serve the Lord? Have you cried out to Him and asked Him to forgive you of your sins? If not—why not? If not now—when? Do not put off today what you’re not guaranteed of tomorrow! “…And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” Acts 16:31
LIFE IN CHRIST!
