John 8:7 reads, “When they kept on questioning him (referring to Jesus), he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” From this scripture we come to understand that we all sin. We all make mistakes, and we all fall short of God’s glory. Sin is anything that separates us from God. Sin is an immoral act considered to be a transgression against divine law. But there is another aspect that goes with sin, it has to do with forgiveness. After we acknowledge that we sin, we must then go to God and ask for forgiveness. Which means confess your sin/s to God. Confession is a formal statement admitting that one is guilty of a crime, transgression, or ashamed about an act that you have committed. We all are called to go before God and ask for forgiveness. God’s forgiveness means that God removes the guilt, punishment of sin, and declares that the person is freed from the consequences of their sin. When God forgives us, He no longer holds our sin/s against us. He no longer condemns us. We are free from our sin and are told go and sin no more. John 8: 10-11 reads, “When Jesus had lifted himself up, and saw no one but the woman was there, he said unto her, Woman, where are those who accused you? Has no one condemned you? She said, “No, my Lord.” And Jesus said unto her, neither do I condemn you: go, and sin no more.” We are forgiven. But first, we must go before God and confess our sin! The question is, “What do you need to confess?” Today, get right with God! God Bless. Amen.
