HERO OVER SIN

READ:

Create in me a clean heart, O God
-Psalm 51:10

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Ezekiel 5-7
Hebrews 12

Not long ago, someone asked me a very tough question: "What is the longest you have gone without sinning? A week, a day, an hour?" How can we answer a question like that? If we are truthful, we might say "I can't live a day without sinning." Or if we look back over the past week, we might see that we haven't confessed to God even one sin. But we would be fooling ourselves if we said we hadn't sinned in our thoughts or actions for a week.
God knows our hearts and whether we're sensitive to the convicting power of the Holy spirit. If we really know ourselves, we take 1 John 1:8 to heart, "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us." We certainly don't want verse 10 to be true of us, "If we say that we have not sinned, ... His word is not in us."
A more encouraging question to ask might be: "What is God's response to our admission of sin and need for forgiveness?" The answer: "If we confess ... He is faithful and just to forgive us"(v.9). Jesus has taken our sin problem upon Himself by dying in our place and rising again. That's why He can create in us "a clean heart"(Psalm 51:10). My young friend, Jaydon, is right when he says "Jesus is the hero over our sins." - Anne Cetas
No one can say he doesn't need
Forgiveness for his sin,
For all must come to Christ by faith
To have new life within. - Branon

Christ's forgiveness is the door to a new beginning.
