GOD’S FORGIVENESS [Psalm 19:12-14]

Many believers are plagued by guilt, they worry that they have committed a sin unknowingly, failed to put their whole heart into a task, or neglected what they should have done. Guilt can play an important role in bringing us to Christ, and keeping us on the straight and narrow. But it should not cripple us, or make us fearful. God fully and completely forgives us, even for those sins we do unknowingly. So why do you think David was concerned about his unintentional sins? As the text indicates; for the same reasons you and I should be concerned about ours. David simply loved God! And when you love someone, you do not want to grieve them; you want to please them. Let me give you a take-away from this passage: as you begin each day, determine in your heart that God’s love and grace will guide what you say and think.

TAKE-AWAYS

What we believe has a direct impact on our response to life’s problems.

Where the mind dwells, the heart follows.

Preparation for the future starts with developing biblical thinking.

In times of discouragement, you have a choice. Will you focus on your circumstances, or will you fix your gaze on Jesus and trust Him?

We know that God won’t add to or take away from the Bible. It is His complete and reliable Word. Therefore, anyone claming to have more scriptures, new revelation, or another Testament is a fraud.

Because we are eternally secure in Christ, we are never in a hopeless circumstance. We may feel desperate, but emotions are not reliable. Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior and friend, is our constant source of hope.

The power is not in what we say, but in what God says.

Assurance in prayer is based on the dependability of the character of God, not on the strength of our faith.
