As human beings, it is a universal truth that we have all fallen short of God's moral standards. No one can claim exemption from this reality. We have all made mistakes, sinned, and missed the mark of living a righteous life. However, we can take comfort in the fact that the gospel message offers us forgiveness and salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, despite our imperfections.
Sin separates us from being in the right relationship with God. But while we were separated from God, Jesus made a way for us to return to God through His death and resurrection. It's an incredible feeling to be able to reconnect with God on a personal level. Despite the challenge of releasing the guilt and shame from our past mistakes, it's important to keep in mind that Christ has already forgiven us. We might find it easy to hold onto our unworthiness, but it's crucial to remember that God's love and forgiveness are unconditional. Whenever we need comfort or strength, we can always turn to Him.
One incredible verse to keep in mind is 1 John 1:9. If we confess our sins to God, we can trust that He will always be faithful to forgive us. It's not about our faithfulness, but rather, it's based on God's faithfulness. We can rely on God's unwavering faithfulness and truthfulness, which guarantees that He will always forgive us and purify us from anything that separates us from Him.
It's a fact that with Christ, we are no longer weighed down by the guilt of our past. This powerful act of forgiveness empowers us to continue living righteously and faithfully with God. Truly, forgiveness is one of the most powerful things we can experience.
