Confession is good for the soul…

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God...John 3:19-21.

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever...1 John 2:15-17.

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness...1 John 1:7-9.


Have you renounced satan, and this world…yes or no? Have you confessed your darkest sins to Jesus and asked what must you do to repent and be right with Him…yes or no? Jesus said the truth will set us free…we have to confess our sins or else we will not be bringing our darkness to the light for cleansing…may God grant us repentance and confession of sin!


Prayer

Father we renounce satan and the second beast which is in the world…please grant us repentance so we can be right with You…meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal us so we can walk with You in the truth…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Have you been born again…

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God...John 3:3-5. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned...Mark 16:16. Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call...Acts 2:38-39.

 

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new...2 Corinthians 5:17.

 

Prayer

Father please meet our soul’s deepest needs and our bodies needs…please restore to us the joy of salvation…and grant us repentance and remission of sins…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Repentance and remission of sins…

Repentance and remission of sins…

And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem...Luke 24:46-47.

 

What does repentance involve…a changed heart, mind, and action. When it is written repentance and remission of sins should be preached…what is remission and repentance. Repentance is a heart, mind, and life committed to Jesus turning from selfish desires and actions…man’s part of salvation. Remission of sins…is God not imputing the sins of our lives…it is what some call grace…God’s part of salvation. When Ben, my life does not measure up to the standard of holiness or perfection then Jesus imputes the difference to justify me before God…so that I end up just-as-I’d never sinned. It is imputed righteousness. Where as repentance is man’s part…we can choose what our hearts, minds, and deeds are and we are to put Jesus first in all our actions and heart and mind, but what if we mess up….then remission of sins God’s part in salvation takes over and we are considered righteous before God even though we failed to measure up to perfection.

 

Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need...Hebrews 4:14-16.

 

Jesus died on the cross and was raised from the dead to provide us with remission of sins. For those of us who have believed and obeyed… For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ...Galatians 3:26-27. So then let us live holy in our conduct and manner of life…

 

What is the standard of holy…then ten commandments…

Have you received from another table…you shall have no other gods before Me…

Have you bowed down to worship the created instead of the Creator…no idols

Have you used God name in only prayer and teaching…no blasphemy

Keep yourself holy by keeping the commandments of God of loving your neighbor as yourself and God first…when Jesus talked to the woman at the well He said any day now God will accept worship not just the Sabbath Day. Jews had to be in one of two situations on the Sabbath day either they had kept the other 9 commandments so they could worship on the Sabbath assembly or they had sinned and needed to see the priest and offer a proper sacrifice for their disobedience. They were in the sinner line or the assembly worshipping God because they were faithful.

Honor your mom and dad…they took care of you in diapers you take care of them in diapers

You shall not murder

You shall not commit adultery

You shall not steal

You shall not bear false witness…do not lie or participate in a lie or half truth

You shall not covet but want what God has been giving you

 

Prayer

Father please grant us repentance and remission of sins so we may dwell with you forever and please prosper us and meet our soul’s deepest needs…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
