I just recently began to use my webcam to take pictures and to
email family and friends. I want to get my wife on cam soon. She's
on her way back from surgery, just now. But in the course of taking
pictures, you know, I've deleted a lot of pictures, because they
were of poor quality. When you put together an imperfect subject
and poor technic you get poor quality.
Being able to erase or correct and change our mistakes is a great
asset in our work, hobbies, and life in general. I make so many
mistakes which I need to correct. This brings me to the "good
news" of God my heavenly Father's will to forgive me when I
miss the complete fullness of His great plan and power for my daily
life and ministry.
God's grace is truly amazing and great. He forgives us of our sin,
by cleansing us and washing us by His Word. Whenever we come confessing
our sins of commission and omission He will forgive and cleanse
us. I John 1:9 says"If we confess our sins, he is faithful
and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."KJV.
The words of special note in this verse which hinge upon our confessing(homologomen
from Homologeo to confess, to avow frankly, to declare openly) our
sins, are: forgive (aphe from aphiemi to release to forgive) and
cleanse (katharise from katharos to clean,purify, to free from sin).
Unrighteousness is sin. Yet God who is righteous, is faithful to
forgive and to cleanse us of our sin. There is therefore no doubt
God will and does forgive us of our sin whenever we come in repentance
before Him, through Christ Jesus, confessing our sins.
Sin comes because of the darkness of unbelief and rebellion in the
heart of the sinner who is walking/living according to this world's
enticements and lusts. And, when the light of God's word shines
into the sinner's heart it reveals transgressions and sins. So he/she
can see and know his/her sinful condition; of failing/missing God's
plan and will for living in the world victoriously.
All of us were sinners of all sorts, but when we repented and confessed
our sin God was ready and waiting to cleanse us through the life
blood of Christ Jesus. Now we are saints set apart to walk in the
new powerful mission of living the Christ life, while constantly
in fellowship with our Holy Heavenly Father via Jesus Christ our
advocate by the Father's right hand.
Christians! We are victors and conquerors with joyous victory songs
in our hearts as we in love serve our Lord while always forgiving
one another, Ephesians 4:32 "And be ye kind one to another,
tenderhearted, forgiving one another even as God for Christ's sake
hath forgiven you."KJV.
