God can always be trusted to forgive you if you will
simply ask. There are no hurdles to jump, no dues to pay, no penalty box to
sit in, no scales to even out, no begging or bargaining. And there is no
waiting period where God says, “Let’s wait and see if you really deserve my
forgiveness.” It only takes humility and honesty. But the payoff is well
worth it. You are instantly, freely, completely, and permanently forgiven and
justified. Justified means it’s “just–as–if–I’d” never sinned.

If we confess our sins to God, he
can always be trusted to forgive us and take our sins away.

REFLECT
|
|
What did you hear?
|
|
What did God say to you as you read
today's Bible passage? What word or phrase was most meaningful to you?
|
|
|
|
What do you think?
|
|
What does this passage mean to you?
How does it apply to your life?
|
|
|
|
What is your prayer?
|
|
This is where you turn your thoughts
into prayer. It could be a prayer of gratitude or praise. It could be a
prayer of confession or a request for God's help. It's up to you. But take a
minute to write a prayer of response to God.
