For once you were God’s enemy,
you hated him because you loved sin, sin was your master and you were the
servant. But thanks to God who through His son reconcile you back to Him, now
that makes you righteous and makes you a servant of righteousness.
Many are still servants to sin,
not because they still sin but they can’t get over the (big) sin they committed
in the part. I can’t count the number of people I’ve hurt in my life, in the
90s, when I was still a prostitute, I slept with diverse of men and I had
series of abortions, ho! I was too razz, have destroyed many people’s life, my
sin is not something small…. Like that like that.
Excuse me, what exactly do you
mean? That your sin is too thick that the blood of Jesus can’t cleanse? Did you
forget this: even though your sin is
as red as scarlet, I will cleanse
you and you will be as white as snow. Is that too simple to be true? Does God
for once joke with his words? He said, he honors his words more than his name.
The moment you believe him as
your Lord and savior, he takes every sin away, so why are you still creating
the illusion that the sin is still there. Why do you want to belittle what the
blood of the lamb can do, how is it your business to think of “how big” or “how
much”, he said it doesn’t matter the size, he knew all that before he decided to
accept you.
Okay, maybe that was too big for
you, what about this- there I therefore NO condemnation for those in Christ
Jesus. Isn’t this simple enough? No condemnation for you once you believe, he
sees your sin no more, and he sees you, so stop staring at what’s not there.
A teacher had intention of
beating 5 students for whatever reason(s), after beating the 4, he told the 5th
one; go I pardon you and then he student starts with this: sir, I can’t go just
like that, if only you know all that have done you won’t ask me to go, please
beat me I deserve it, my offence is too big to be pardoned.
Sounds like a comedy, how can
someone in his right mind beg to be punished, God said He no longer has
interest in counting your sins, he threw the counter away long time ago, don’t
count for Him. If you can believe God to be your savior, healer, and deliverer
and so on, what makes it hard to see him as the one who has taken away all your
sins, his mission to this world in the first place was because he forgave you.
Embrace grace with faith and be a
servant of righteousness. No number of your repentance work will take your sins
away, he doesn't want your burnt offering or sin offering, he paid the price
already, and you shouldn't pay any.
Don’t be like a prisoner who was
been released with the prison doors opened wide but decide not to go because he
believes his years of staying in prison is not yet commensurate with his sin.
If God is not angry with you anymore, who are you to pick up the anger against
yourself?
He will have mercy on those he
will have mercy on, he had mercy on you already, so pick up your mat and go
your sins are forgiven, he want to have mercy on you so connect to him and
leave that dirt, he is ready to clean up the mess.
His blood is not that of “animal” that only
last for a year and needs renewal every year, he did it once and that settles
it all. It is very easy to yield to law but you find it difficult to yield to
righteousness-which is simpler.
You will be very stupid to still
enslave yourself to sin after he has set you free from it. Be a servant of
righteousness, the price paid is enough.
