What sin makes you cringe every time you

What sin makes you cringe every time you think of it?

October 31, 2023

What sin makes you cringe every time you think of it? What mistake has you shaking your head while thinking, “Why would I do something like that?” What situation or moment in your life, do you wish that you could have a re-do, because the thing you did was just wrong? We have all let our self down by something we have said or done. We all sin and make mistakes in life. As Christians, we are to go to God in prayer and ask for forgiveness. We are told because we believe in God we are forgiven—period. God does not continue to make us, repent over and over the sins we have committed. Once we confess our sins, we are forgiven. The key is to learn to forgive our self the way God does. I believe, because of our past it created who and what we are today. Our past changed us into the person we are today and that is good. What we need to do is learn to love our self the way God does. Scripture tells us, “But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions (sin) it is by grace you have been saved.” (Ephesians 2:4-5) Then 1 John 1:9 tells us, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” Today, remember God loves you, God forgives you, now forgive yourself and love yourself the way God, for God does not make mistake. So forgive yourself—it is about time. God Bless. Amen.
