What About My Faults

                                           1 John 3:9
              "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin;
                  for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot
                              sin, because he is born of God."

        What if our living is not perfect? What if we slip and fall because of sin? In fact, all of us have many faults. But Satan's real goal is for us to give up and to stop trying.

        But we do not have to be defeated, do we? Look at a baby trying to walk. When he falls, does he stay down forever? He gets up and tries again, and again becoming stronger with each attempt. In the same way, God's Spirit gives us increasing power for "being renewed." If we are honest about our faults; The Lord promised forgiveness and more strength when we go from "milk to the meat of God's Word."

        "If we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin. If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, "He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:7-9).

       Do you notice the continual cleansing we enjoy? "The blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin" (1 John 1:7). How much of our failure is wiped away? "All sin."  Listen my friends it don't get no better than that!. Even as we struggle with our sins and confess (admit) them, He forgives "all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9). While we "walk in the light" (IE) while we stay open to Jesus and follow Him; He keeps washing us clean. "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1).
        Amen!!
