WHAT SIN?


Many times, we ask forgiveness for our sins,
and then continue to feel guilty or beat
ourselves up for what we have done against
the Lord. We may even have well meaning or
not so well meaning people who stand ready
to remind us of the sins and errors we've made.
Satan would love nothing more than for us to
remain in captivity to our guilt and think about
the things we've done. But, God not only
completely forgives us for our sins, but He also
forgets that they ever happened. He will never
hold them against us. They are gone and
forgotten forever. All because Jesus Christ
already took the punishment of our sins on
Himself, we are totally forgiven, clean, and
righteous before God.


Heavenly Father, we pray for Your help when
we feel the guilt over sins we have committed
and have already confessed and repented of
them. Remind us that You have forgotten our
sins and we have no need to worry or feel
guilty about them anymore. In Jesus' name.


Read Isaiah 43:25


I, even I, am he who blots out your
transgressions, for my own sake, and
remembers your sins no more." (NIV)


"I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy
transgressions for mine own sake, and
will not remember thy sins." (KJV)
