Un-confessed sin creates a wall, a hole, a broken relationship,
a barrier! The result?
· Wasted
time
· Bitter
hearts
· Bad
memories
· Inability
to trust again!
Jesus
said, “Run quickly and be made right with your brother or sister and then come
to My altar!”
Isn’t it amazing, that one of the
greatest gifts God has ever given us – Confession of Sin, is the thing we are
so slow to do and a matter we would rather avoid? That is called PRIDE!
You may be thinking: “What do I need to confess?”
1. Have we broken the Law of God? – The
Commandments!
2. Have we broken the “Royal Law of Love?” -- to love your neighbor as yourself.
When we “examine” ourselves with those
2 questions, we are inviting God to move upon our hearts and reveal areas that
need to be dealt with.
May we NOT “generalize” our confession
of sin; we must be specific!
We must realize the damage sin has
created in our lives and learn to hate it! Love what God loves and hate what He hates.
Psalm 51
would be a wonderful passage to meditate on to form in us the attitude of mind and
heart that is acceptable to God.
