Bible Verse of The Day – 7-12-23

Psalm 32:1 (NKJV) 1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.

Those who view their sins as being the worst or of the greatest quantity often have the most passionate appreciation for God’s grace and mercy.

The reality, though, is that any sin forgiven is great, and to be greatly appreciated.

God’s word reminds us that not even one of us is perfect. We have all fallen short of what glorifies Him.

Romans 3:23 (NKJV) 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God…

It is in this that we must understand His grace and mercy, and show the gratitude that He is due.

It doesn’t matter if He rescued us from addictions, a life of crime, a life of sexual promiscuity or what we might think was a boring life with nothing eventful happening; we all need forgiveness and redemption.

We all need the washing of the blood of the Savior, and to be made whole; new creations in Christ.

And as we walk out this new life in Christ, let us not forget from where we have been lifted, and where we are going.

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV) 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

This incredible salvation is the greatest gift that any one of us could ever receive, so let us be sure to always see it and honor it as such, whether we view our former transgressions as great or small.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-14-21

Luke 24:47 (NLT) 47 It was also written that this message would be proclaimed in the authority of his name to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem: ‘There is forgiveness of sins for all who repent.’

As I was recently listening to my Bible while getting ready for my day, I heard this verse and it stuck with me.

There were two key things that stood out. Let’s talk about them!

First, what initially caught my attention was the fact that the word, “all”, was used.

This means that “this message” mentioned here is for everyone.

There is nobody left out.

God does not discriminate against anyone.

This means that no matter what nation we are from, no matter what color our skin is, no matter what our income bracket is and no matter what skills or talents we have (or lack), God is not prejudice and He will not withhold His message from us because of these factors, or any others.

So, what is this message that He gives to us impartially?

That’s actually point #2 that caught my attention. It is this; “There is forgiveness of sins for all who repent”.

You see, forgiveness of sins is available to all. But there is a condition to be met. What is that condition?

Repentance.

The word says that forgiveness is available for all who repent! So, this means that forgiveness is not available to those who do not repent.

Ooh, this is something that’s pretty important if we look at it sincerely wanting to know the truth.

Sin separates us from God. It creates a chasm, a gap, between us and Him. And until we repent and ask for forgiveness, that gap remains.

That is not my opinion, nor the opinion of anyone else. It’s what God’s word says.

Sin is serious. It should never be whitewashed or sugar-coated.

Thankfully, God offers forgiveness. We just have to be willing to lay our sin aside, walk away from it (repent), and ask Him to forgive us for what we have done.

If we are sincere in our repentance, He willingly forgives us. It’s that easy.

It’s important for all of us to admit that we sin. Sadly, it’s part of human nature.

But God, in His mercy, has offered a way for us to be forgiven. It’s up to us to accept His offer.

We recently recorded a video on this topic. If you’d like to watch it, please click here.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-6-20

1 John 1:9 (NKJV) 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

We all sin. There’s no question about that. And those sins may vary from one person to another as to the type and the frequency of those sins.

So, it’s safe to say that sin is something that we all have in common.

But there is one other thing that we have in common. We have a Father who is willing to forgive us and cleanse us from our sins!

All we need to do is confess those sins to Him and He is faithful to forgive those sins.

Even more, though, His word says that He is also faithful to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Think about this for a moment. If we are a child of God, even though we sin, sin has no hold on us if we understand how to deal with it.

And the best part is that this isn’t complicated. It doesn’t require a ritual. It doesn’t require a priest or a pastor. And it doesn’t require an animal sacrifice, or the shedding of blood.

The blood of Jesus, shed over 2,000 years ago, was enough to wash away every sin committed by every person, across the entire world, from the time of Genesis 1:1 to the very last person, in Revelation 22:21.

It’s up to us whether we pay attention to this and follow what God tells us to do. But it’s important that we remember that carrying unconfessed and unforgiven sin around is like carrying around a backpack. Each sin is like a rock that gets tossed into the backpack. Over time, that backpack will get pretty heavy if we don’t empty it out.

It will weigh us down to the point of causing us to become tired and weary from dragging it around. And before we know it, we won’t be able to bear the load any longer.

We need to go to Him. Confess our sin. Ask for forgiveness. And then work on fixing the things that keep causing us to sin.

It’s that easy.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-1-18

1 John 1:7 (NKJV) 7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

Before we put our faith in Christ, we are dirty, stained by our sin. At the very moment we put our faith in Christ, He washes us with His blood. We are made clean.

It would be really nice if we would stay clean. But as humans, we have a tendency to get dirty, over and over again.

How do we get clean and stay clean? Is it even possible for us?

Yes. It is possible. And here is how.

First, the verse above says that if we walk in the light (avoid darkness), the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin.

So, we need to avoid darkness and the things associated with it.

Second, God has told us that if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful to forgive those sins.

1 John 1:9 (NKJV) 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

So we see that we need to confess our sins to Him. When we do so, He is faithful to forgive us and cleanse us from them.

The thing is, if we continue in sin, we will also continue to get dirty. It’s like a vicious cycle. God cleanses us, we get dirty, we need a bath, God washes us as we confess our sins.

The key is to change that cycle and learn to avoid the darkness and the sin that abounds there. Once we do this, we will find ourselves less apt to get caught up in sin and much less likely to be constantly running to God for forgiveness.

Here is the secret, straight from God’s word:

Galatians 5:24-25 (NKJV) 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

We need to crucify the flesh and live by the Spirit. If we say that we are Christ’s, but we are repeatedly wallowing in sin, we need to check ourselves and let God put His finger on those things that keep causing us to fall and get dirty.

Once we do that, and we pay attention to what He shows us and tells us, obeying His instructions, we will then begin to get a handle on our sinful ways and start to see a decline in the number of times we find ourselves “getting dirty”.

Walk in the light as He is in the light.
