1 John 2:1(NIV)
My dear children, I write this to you so that you
will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the
Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.
God hates sin. Don't you? I know I do. But isn't it amazing
how we'll fall back into the same old traps again and again. This is where
John, the tender Shepherd that he was, hits the nail on the head. The goal is
to not sin even one sin. But, knowing our struggle against the flesh, John also
gives assurance to those of us trying to live faithful and pure lives. He wants
us to know that when we do sin, the Sacrifice for our sins, God's Son, is also
our defense attorney who proclaims us sinless by his blood! So let's draw close
to Christ. Let's invite him into our heart each morning as we begin the day.
Let's trust in his power and grace to sustain us and carry us through. When we
do, he will!
Thought for today:
Do I fully trust God?
