The basis of being a born again believer in Jesus is the acceptance of our sinful nature by ourselves. This is often a very hard thing because we are always inclined to compare ourselves to others. In doing the comparison we are able to think that we are "better" than them.
In Heaven, there is no comparison. We serve a righteous Holy GOD. HE simply cannot be in the presence of sin.
For us to have our sins blotted out, we need to acknowledge that we are sinners. Then we need to repent. Repentance is not being sorry that we have sinned. Repentance is far more. It is a realization that we cannot be repeat offenders. It is a change of mind and attitude. It is remorse and willingness to surrender our guilt to Jesus in order to throw ourselves on the grace and mercy of our Redeemer.
If we say we are not sinners, we call Jesus a liar. Because He went to that cross and took all our sins onto that cross and paid the price in full. To say we have not sinned, makes that a lie.
So for true repentance we are to change. Truly change and stop sinning. Then in Heaven, Jesus tells us that there will be joy over this.
Today, admit sin. Confess sin. Repent and turn away from sin. Fall upon Jesus and beg for forgiveness. Be filled with the Holy Spirit and bring joy in Heaven.
Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I love YOU so much and I want YOUR Grace and YOUR mercy. Forgive me FATHER for I am a sinner. Forgive me where I have sinned and not only for the things I have done, but also for the things I have not done. I humbly ask this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay truly GOD blessed today!
