Devotion:
Read 1 John 1:5 - 2:2.
If we let him, God’s love moves us to believe that our sins can be forgiven. We know that we are sinners; we say and do things that displease God. If we deny this about ourselves, we cannot change for a positive way forward. The guilt of sin weighs us down. It is such a burden.
Yet if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins. It seems unthinkable that no matter what you have done, if you confess your sin, God will forgive you because of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice. His death on the cross wiped away our sins, so that we may be one with God. Heaven and all of its blessings are open to the forgiven sinner.
Not only will God forgive confessed sins, but he will also show us the way. God through the holy spirit will direct us in the light so that we can live a more full life. We can become more Christ-like. His virtues of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness and faithfulness can shine through. There is nothing that can separate us from the love of God.
Personal Worship Option:
Heavenly Father, pour out your love into my heart so that I may truly confess and repent of my sins. Thank you for your endless love and forgiveness. Amen.
