Hey, there I am! This means I am included in this cleansing by the Lamb. Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of Kevin. It's amazing to think about:
- I don't need to take my sin somewhere; Jesus takes it away.
- I don't need to feel something to make it go away...something like feeling bad for a certain amount of time;
- I don't have to do something great to earn Jesus' favor.
As I become aware of a sin, I confess it up to God and thank Him for the forgiveness through Jesus blood...
...And, I ask God for His Grace & Mercy to keep me from doing it again.
If I spend a lot of time fussing about it or feeling guilty, then I am not really believing that I've been forgiven.
No Bonus points for Fussing!!!
It's not about what I do; it is about what Jesus does: He takes away the sin of the world...hauls it away.
Let's zoom back out. Wow, look at all those people! There's a lot of folks out there that need to hear this good news!
And I'm so good at fussing! The peace of confession is so amazing compared to the anxiety of fussing!
ReplyDeleteI used to be afraid to ask God to reveal my sin to me until I realized that He loves me so much He never gives me more than I can handle confessing!
Kevin love your post- great insight:)
