The Power that is found in Repentance

When you study the bible, you notice that there is a difference between Sin and Sins. There is a sin and there are sins. Sin is a nature that came as a result of the disobedience of Adam and Eve. Romans 3:22-23 says: "There is no difference between Jew and Gentile,  for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."  It is only when you repent and receive Christ Jesus in your life that this nature is removed from your life and you become a child of God. This repentance that takes place here is done only once.

Then, there are sins.This is when a believer or born again person does what is contrary to the will of God. This is what attracts accusations from Satan and can cause a person to live in condemnation. When you hide such sins, it becomes like a rotten thing in your life and it affects your daily living (especially because of the condemnation that you feel in your heart). Now what will take away this condemnation from your heart is your repentance (acknowledging that it is wrong and turning away from it) and receiving your forgiveness from God.

Isaiah 59:1-2 says : "Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save nor his ear too dull to hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear."

Is there a place where you need to repent today? Remember that once you repent, the enemy has no legal right to continue accusing you. The bible says that:  "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9)

Repent and Enjoy the Mercies of God Today.
