AND SO ARE YOU
The best way to stop feeling guilty about our sinful nature is to just admit it, confess to God that you have a sin problem and trust Him to forgive you, and He will. Every single man, woman, and child born in this world is born into sin and the only thing we can do about it is to accept and receive the free gifts of salvation and righteousness given to us by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Let His blood cleanse us from all unrighteousness in the eyes of God the Father. That won't make us stop sinning but it will make us acceptable to God. Without the blood of Jesus there is no forgiveness for sin. Thank You Lord Jesus! When we ask Jesus to be our Savior and Lord something happens on the inside of us that cannot be done any other way and then the Holy Spirit starts to work on us from the inside out and we begin to change. What changes? The way we think changes. Then, because the way we think changes our actions and words change and we our transformed by the renewing of our minds by the Word of the Living God. We need the 'Word' to maintain in us the hope we have in the promises of God to us. So, get as much of the 'Word' in you as possible and will see yourself change. Destructive habits will go away, you begin to catch yourself when you are about to say something wrong or hurtful, you become more aware of your wrong doing and you will start doing good and find yourself experiencing the true joy of the Spirit of God. These changes do not happen over night for most of us so don't be discouraged if things don't happen right away for you but be persistent and wait for the Spirit to work in you. Keep praying no matter what and make your petitions known to God and He will answer you according to His Word. Follow His instructions, it's all in His book.
SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY
"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 our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives." 1 John 1:8-10
