Tag: Bible verses about repenting for our sins

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-30-24

Psalm 51:12 (LSB) 12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation And sustain me with a willing spirit.

Th entire 51st Psalm is a prayer of David after being confronted by the prophet, Nathan.

Nathan had reprimanded David for his affair with Bathsheba and the subsequent murder of her husband, Uriah.

This prayer in its entirety is an incredible expose` on the topic of sin, repentance, God’s mercy, and the forgiveness of God.

As David was confronted with the enormity and the moral gravity of his sins, he immediately repented before God and cried out for His mercy.

He knew his sins were great. But he also understood that God’s mercy was bigger.

His statement above is interesting.

He asked God to restore the joy of His salvation.

His heart had failed in making the decision to commit adultery with Bathsheba. But it had failed exponentially more with his decision to try to cover up that sin with the the murder of her husband.

One wrong choice was leading to many other wrong choices. And they were beginning to pile up.

The weight of his guilt was crushing him. And now he was asking God to restore his joy; the joy that comes with God’s mercy and redemption.

This is what sets David apart from so many others. He sincerely wanted to do right. He wanted to please God and serve Him wholly.

So, when he dropped the ball and did something wrong, he did not run from it or try to pass the blame onto someone else.

He stood up like a mature man of God and did what was required to make things right, even knowing that the repercussions might be painful and hard to bear.

May we all do likewise, willingly admitting our failures, and laying them before God in repentance, seeking His mercy and correction.

And then walking out what He shows us to do, that we would not be separated from Him by our sins.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-10-23

Proverbs 28:13 (NKJV) 13 He who covers his sins will not prosper, But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.

Ignoring, stuffing down or hiding what we have said or done wrong will not help us.

It may take the sting away for a bit as we try to forget it, but peace comes only when we receive God’s mercy by asking for forgiveness.

If we don’t remain an open book with God, and be held accountable to Him, it will be easy for us to overlook the things we should be repenting of and coming clean from.

Whether we think our sin is little or big in God’s eyes, we must repent. Why? Because sin is sin.

We need to keep a remorseful mindset, knowing that God is holy, and that sin will put distance between us and Him if we don’t remove it.

As soon as we know or are convicted, we need to give it up and ask for forgiveness.

Walk away from those things that put distance between us and God.

Remember; covering up our sin will cause us to not prosper. But when we confess, He will show us mercy.

1 Chronicles 29:13 (NKJV)  13 “Now therefore, our God, We thank You And praise Your glorious name.

Thank you, God!

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-26-22

Mark 6:12 (NKJV) 12 So they went out and preached that people should repent.

Jesus sent out His disciples. What did they preach? Repentance.

Why? Because we all need this.

Repentance is the beginning of forgiveness.

How much preaching do we hear on the topic of repentance today? How many people do we hear and see repenting of their sins and getting healed or delivered from any kind of demonic spirits?

If there is no teaching on this particular subject, people will not learn the importance of repentance. And thus there are no healings, and no deliverance. There is no change.

Mark 6:13 (NKJV) 13 And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick, and healed them.

We, the church, are at fault for much of this, because we have neglected the teaching of repentance.

We need to repent and get back on track with the message God has for the world.

Matthew 4:17 (NKJV) 17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”

Our family, our church, our country and the nations of the world have forgotten this message and are suffering badly because we are failing to teach this foundational truth.

People are missing out on the freedom and victory this gospel message brings.

Repent.

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 – 3-18-21

1 Peter 2:9 (NKJV) 9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light…

We are a chosen people, Lord, and we are crying out to you with a sincere heart, wanting to walk in your light.

We are a royal priesthood, a holy nation, Your own special people. You called us out of darkness. We belong to you.

Being fake and phony about our walk with You only hurts us and others we come in contact with.

If they think we are a believer and then they see us doing things that unbelievers do, well, that just makes people question You and who we say You are.

We are sorry if we have just been going through the motions.

We repent if we have learned the Church “lingo”, but deep down we have not changed our lifestyle, our words or our actions. We have been living a fake life.

We have not fooled You and we don’t fool others. They can tell by our ways who and what we follow. Having a Bible in one hand and the things of the world in the other won’t cut it any longer.

Today we sincerely cry out to You, God. Forgive us.

We want all of You. We want your teachings to touch our hearts and change us, that we may walk in your ways each day. That we may share love, and not hate. That we may not gossip, but turn away from those conversations that may lead us to. That we may not be negative but instead, speak words of encouragement into situations and the people around us.

Help us God today to walk in Your marvelous light. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-23-18

2 Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV) 14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Prayer is powerful! Look what God promises when we take these steps.

He says, “my people”, those called by My name.

He’s talking directly to His people. Those who are saved by grace, those of us who are His children through believing and trusting in His Son, Jesus Christ.

We are His children and He is our Father. He’s talking to us.

God wants to bring healing to each one of us today in a big way. But, for Him to do this we must follow the rest of what He tells us to do in these verses.

  1. We must humble ourselves. Accept the fact that we need forgiveness and healing, and know that we can’t do this on our own. We need God’s help.
  1. We must pray and seek Him. Some may say, ” well, He already knows what I need, why doesn’t He just help me?” Because our help comes as we obey. When we follow His steps, we show Him that we are serious about receiving the answers and the help He has for us.
  1. We must repent for the way we have been doing things and then live to change and do it right.

What happens after that? He promises us that He will hear us, forgive us, and heal our land!! Amen.

Do we want healing in our land today? Consider our own lives… our personal land. Is your home in chaos and in need of great restoration?

Is your relationship with God lost?

Are we missing out on our children’s upbringing because we’re too busy working night and day to pay bills, and still never getting ahead?

Are we living as an alcoholic or drug abuser behind closed doors, but still preaching, teaching, and acting like nothing is wrong in the pulpit or among our brothers and sisters?

Are we walking around fornicating, looking at porn, committing adultery and gambling our life away, etc.?

These are some of the things we need to turn from, the sin that is destroying His people, little by little. This sin is active in people who love God and who long to walk closely with Him.

God wants to heal our land. Our nation, and our “personal land”. Let us humbly come to Him in prayer, repenting of our sins and turning from our old ways, accepting His healing for us today. God is our Healer!!

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-26-17

Numbers 32:23 (NKJV) 23 But if you do not do so, then take note, you have sinned against the Lord; and be sure your sin will find you out.

Sin has a way of catching up with us. It may not always be right away, but at some point in our lives the things we do will manifest and there will be consequences.

Sin is like that. We can try to hide it. We can ignore it. We can try to gloss it over or even try to justify it in our minds. But sooner or later it shows itself and we have to deal with the aftermath of it.

This doesn’t mean that God won’t have mercy on us. He will if we ask for it. And this covers things on His part, with regard to having our sins forgiven.

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.

But in the natural realm there will, many times, still be consequences.

So it’s important that we don’t let sin linger in our lives. And it’s critical that when we get ourselves caught up in sin that we do whatever is necessary to fix it as soon as possible. The longer we stay in it, the larger the repercussions will usually be.

And when our sin affects others, it’s important that we go to them and make it right with them. This can sometimes be very hard, since it means facing the one(s) we have sinned against or who have gotten hurt because of our sin.

And whatever we do, we can’t wallow in shame or self-pity when we drop the ball and mess up. That will do us and others no good whatsoever. It will only worsen the situation.

So let’s do what we know is right and confess our sins to God, ask Him to forgive us, repent and walk away from them. And then let’s face the consequences head on and work to put it all behind us quickly, so we can move forward and God can bring healing to our lives and the lives of those who have also been affected by our actions.
