Did you mess up? Did you sin? Is your conscience convicting you into shame, remorse, regret and even self loathing? Move forward in faith that the word is true. Look at what the word says about believers. 👇👇👇 Romans 4:7-8 NASB “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds have been forgiven, And whose sins have been covered. [8] “Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will not take into account.” True? Yes! So, accept it. Embrace it. Shake off the guilt, the shame, the remorse, the bad conscience. Walk in the grace God has given you through your faith in Jesus. Press forward, and don't let the desires of your flesh rule you. We all make mistakes, but thank God our mistakes in life don't affect our eternal life or our relationship with him. We are adopted. We are accepted. Rebuke the devil. Rebuke your own soul's conscience that is convicting you. Shake it all off and learn from it in order to do the right thing next time. Sin is bad. There are real world consequences, even physical ones to our mistakes. Jesus told a man he healed to, "sin not, lest a worse thing come upon you." Hebrews 4:16 NASB "Therefore let’s approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for help at the time of our need." We have a great confidence from our position in Christ. Is it based on our performance? No. We sin. We screw up. We are still broken people in recovery from our past. It is based on our position. Where are we positioned? In Christ. We walk in faith believing we are redeemed, justified and sanctified by the blood of Jesus which was shed for us despite how bad we have been, how bad we are or how bad we can become. 1 Peter 1:23 says, “for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God.” The imperishable seed endures forever. Peter even tells us in 1 Peter 1:4-5 that our hope is, “to obtain an inheritance which is 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲, 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗱, and 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗳𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆, 𝕣𝕖𝕤𝕖𝕣𝕧𝕖𝕕 𝕚𝕟 𝕙𝕖𝕒𝕧𝕖𝕟 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕪𝕠𝕦, who 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗱 in the last time.” We are human. Humans sin. We all fall short. Praise God that when we believers sin, our human condition doesn’t affect our spiritual condition or void our right standing with God. We keep moving forward. Nothing we do can stop the love of God in our lives. #jesus #grace #faith #believe #cross
