Renouncing Sin

The way you handle your sin is as important as the sin itself. – R. Blackaby

Job offered sacrifices for his children ‘in case’ they sinned. One can only wonder what he did for his own sins. God called him blameless. AMEN!

Life and all its decisions come upon us at times very fast. And as much as we try to live a blameless and perfect life we sometimes miss the mark and sin. It’s what we do next that really matters. Blameless does not mean perfect. It means that in EVERY situation we do the correct thing. If we sin against someone, we’re to repent, confess our sin and ask forgiveness. If we transgress God’s will, we’re to repent and immediately obey. When we attempt to conceal our sin, justify it, deny it, or even blame others for it, we make the original offense much worse. God expects us to live above reproach in all areas of our lives. It’s important for us to remember that in all things heaven is looking down on us!

Until tomorrow…..

Pastor Botts

“He who conceals his sin does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.” – Proverbs 28:13
