The Abundant Grace of God

 

As Christians, We all slip and fall.
ALL of us! (I think I'm usually the 1st person to hit the ground....)

Once you have sincerely confessed what you have done to The Lord & asked for future cleansing (very important!), the already flowing faucet of Grace is opened even more abundantly!!

Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace? Of course not!
Romans 6:1-2

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

Did you get that? The word purify! As spoken of several times in his Word of removing the dross (the contamination) from the silver,

It is gone!

If you look for it, it's not there, (from God's viewpoint).

We, however, tend to think it's still laying around somewhere to be looked at again. He says "as far as the East is from the West, He has separated our sins from us," and we are the ones that believed the lie that it is still right here in the room.

Get up, wash your face, put on fresh cloths and walk back into the Kingdom of God to do what you are appointed to do!

Refer to 2 Samuel 12:20 from God’s Word. We see that David was guilty of some horrendous sins, (Uriah, Bathsheeba...), and was disciplined for them, then He continued to fulfill his role as king of Israel.

" Then David got up from the ground. After he had washed, put on lotions and changed his clothes, he went into the house of the Lord and worshiped."

I can't imagine that you or I have done as heinous of a crime as David did, but the fact remains that once God has dealt with us, either through our confession and repentance or being disciplined, we are to fully resume our walk with Him and not look back at it. He doesn't! And that is another reason that we Love our God!!
