Greetings,
Ever notice how the enemy constantly reminds us of our past, and the many mistakes we have made? He tells us that God would never bless or use us after all of those wrong choices. If he continually speaks those lies to me, I’m sure he does the same to you. But notice what God’s Word says:
Ezekiel 18:21-22 (NKJV) – “But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. [22] None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he shall live.”
No matter how wicked we might have been, or bad the things we did in the past, when we turn to God and begin to live for Him, none of those thoughts, words, or deeds will be remembered against us. Jesus’ death on the cross has given us a fresh start. Yes, we will make more mistakes because we are human; but if we will turn to Him in humility and repentance, they too will be cancelled by His blood. Isn’t our God amazing!
Lord, I thank You for being such a forgiving God and for erasing the sins of my past. I believe that the blood of Jesus covers my past, provides for my present, and secures my future. Thank You for loving me and giving me a new start!
Today, I’m worshiping with Willow Creek and “Here’s My Heart.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
Pastor
