Sunday January 29th
Bible Reading: Heb. 10: 26 - 39
Topic: Joy That Follows Forgiveness
Nothing compares with one
being free from sin. There is joy inexpressible.
We are meant to understand
three things from this Psalm
1. That true forgiveness comes from God
2. That there is need for us to confess our sins before God for us
to obtain Divine and complete forgiveness. The Bible says "though our sins
are like scarlet, God will make them white as snow." So we have to confess
our sins to God whenever we transgress
3. That we will have true joy when our sins are forgiven (vs. 2)
And when our sins are forgiven, we will be free from guilt.
Forgiveness brings joy and
you will begin to feel God's presence.
The Bible says "if we
confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us
from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1 : 9)
Unless you do this, you
will never find peace in this world (Ps. 32: 3 - 5)
The peace He gives is not
like that of the world (John 14: 27). His peace is so overwhelming that we
cannot fathom its depth
So beloved in Christ, go
to Christ, confess your sins and obtain Divine forgiveness and have the joy of
the Lord.
Prayer:
My Heavenly Father, please
forgive me my sins and grant me the joy of my salvation, Amen
Memory verse: Ps. 32: 10
"Many sorrows shall
be to the wicked, but he that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him
about."
