"Lord, if you kept a record of our sins, who, O Lord could ever survive?"
It is true that everyone must come to the realization that they are sinners, before they realize they need a Savior. Believer's know they have sinned and they feared the consequences. They are counting on the Lord to forgive and forget all of their sins. Praise God that our One Truth Today confirms that Jesus Christ, the Lord God, does not keep a record of our sins! The reason is so simple, no one could ever survive and receive the gift of eternal life. Instead God offers us His forgiveness so that we can learn to fear Him. That is why Christians are counting on the Lord and have put their hope in His Word. In the Lord there is unfailing, unconditional Love for His Children.
The redemption of the Lord overflows those that have accepted Him into their hearts and lives.
Of course the Lord is Omniscient and knows everything about us and everything that we have done. That includes our crying out to Him to forgive us of our sins and to come and dwell in our hearts. Unconditional Love allows the Lord to forgive and forget all of our sins and to redeem us from certain death. We do not deserve, nor have we earned this forgiveness but it is the free gift of God to those who believe and call on His name. Because of the Lord's forgiveness we learn to respect and fear our Lord and Master. If the Lord did not forgive, WHO COULD SURVIVE A RECORD OF THEIR SINS?
Our hope is in the Lord because there is unfailing love and mercy and forgiveness. His redemption overflows those that belong to Him and we are redeemed from every kind of sin!
We are counting on the Lord for Salvation. We have put our hope in the Lord. We do not fear death and we look forward to eternal life. If this does not describe you, then you need to come to Fear, Know and Love Jesus Christ the Lord God. If you do not respect the Lord and in fact you reject His free gift of eternal life then you have chosen to condemn yourself to eternal separation and damnation. You can not survive any of your sins, and you will never survive the second death. Without Jesus Christ the Lord God, WHO COULD SURVIVE A RECORD OF THEIR SINS?
