I’m still struggling with sin after being a professing follower of Jesus Christ. I’m s******* immoral, I’m a liar, I’m a thief (cheat), I’m an idolater, I lose my temper and lack patience, I’m doubtful in my faith at times, I’ve had hate in my heart especially towards my mother at times, I’m guilty of discontent with some of the answers I’ve received from the Lord. I know that it is entirely by God’s grace that I am saved through faith in Jesus Christ and repenting of my sin, but the ugliness of my sin still beats me down. I know God forgives my sin by confessing it to Him, but I still want to share my sins with anyone who reads this so that they may know that even though someone is a Christian, it doesn’t mean they are perfect. We are still going to stumble as long as we are in our sinful bodies, but there will be a time that we will be sinless with God in heaven. The only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ alone. Jesus tells us that He is the way, the truth, and the life, nobody comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6). Even though I struggle with sin still, I know that my victory over sin and forgiveness of sin rests in Jesus’ finished work on the cross where He took on all of our sins so that we may be right before God and cleansed of all our unrighteousness. I thank the Lord for His grace and mercy and invite anyone who feels burdened down by his or her sins to confess it to God and accept the free gift of salvation by placing your full trust in Jesus Christ and His sacrificial death on the cross.
God be praised in all things,
David
