Your Sins Are Forgiven!

The power of sin has been destroyed.

"My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One." 1 John 2:1 NIV

It doesn't hurt to be reminded that we are to refrain from sinning. We are to refrain from doing anything that would separate us from God and one from one another. But: sometimes, we can get so caught up in pleasing one another that we do not realize that what we are doing to please the world around us is actually sin. We fall into the trap of saying that what is sin is not sin because it becomes so commonplace. Sometimes, we need to be reminded that what we are doing is sin.

Justifying our sins or the sins of another when they fall off of the path by saying "there's nothing wrong with that" or "everyone does is doing it" does not make it right. The only way things we can be right with God our Father is through the Son who for our sake was willing to suffer and die on the cross that we might be forgiven our sins.

For the sake of the Righteous One who on the cross suffered and died, destroying the power of sin, death, and of the devil, Our Father hears our prayers and answers. Your sins are forgiven!

God's Peace - Pr. J
