If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:9 ESV
Morning(Evening) Men of God,
Making mistakes is an every day part of life. Regardless of who you are, we are going to make missteps that bring us to a place of needing forgiveness. Our scripture today shows us that God is willing and ready to forgive our sins and cleanse us of all unrighteousness, if we just confess. The process of being forgiven is simple. Understanding if it is truely forgiveness we need is more difficult. It we have a trait, or sin issue that we consistently have to repent for, then we have to ask God to examine our hearts. Psalm 139: 23-24, shows us an example of how to ask God to search our hearts. My encouragement to you guys this evening is to be willing to allow God to examine you. Look in the mirror and see yourself truthfully. If there is any sin issue, or item that you continuely have to ask for forgiveness for, Give it to God. He already knows. He loves us anyway. Through confession, we can free ourselves and receive true forgiveness and if needed, change of heart. Love you Guys!
