SIN

When we live in unconfessed sin, our relationship with God becomes affected. The longer we live this way, the further away from God we become. But the moment we confess our sins sincerely and turn our backs on them and God is always willing and happy to have back fellowship with his child.

Sin puts a wedge between us and God. Our relationship with God becomes strained. In the Garden of Eden, man had unbroken fellowship with God, but when Adam sinned, that relationship was severed by the weight of sin. In the same way, sin creates a hindrance to our relationship and access to God in our personal lives and devotion to God. But thank God, Jesus has paid the ultimate sacrifice to blot out our sins and reconnect us to God to sustain our fellowship. The same saving power in the blood of Jesus that brings us to God when we become born again is still constantly working to cleanse us from every unrighteousness any time we fall into sin. We must live a life above sin with the help of the Holy Spirit. In 2 Corinthians 12:9, we are made to see that God’s grace is sufficient for us and that living a victorious life above sin is possible. And whenever we fall, we can quickly rise above it with genuine repentance, confession and asking for mercy by the Blood of Jesus.

Examine your life, repent of any unconfessed sin and ask God for mercy by the Blood of Jesus. Also pray for the grace to live above sin and temptations.
