Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered…. I acknowledge my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgression to the Lord, and you forgave the iniquity of my is. Psalm 32:1,5
True happiness is when you received forgiveness from God. Before forgiveness from God, we carry guilt, shame, and condemnation. It makes our heart feel heavy. However, after Christ’s forgiveness, we don’t carry guilt around us. Our consciences is not troubled anymore.an
This forgiveness from God is for all who look for His mercy. You will find peace and relief. God’s forgiveness can be shown in three ways. The first one is He brings a pardon for sin. Jesus forgives us form sin’s final and external consequences. The second way is it covers sin, or lets say puts the sin out of sight. When the sin is out of sight or covered its power and influence is removed. The final way is God doesn’t keep track of our forgiven sin. He doesn’t count it. God does not hold out our past sins against us. He forgives and let’s go of it. By doing this a person experiences true joy and fulfillment with God. We get to have a close relationship with him. This is why man is blessed. We are forgiven when asked with a ready heart.
A result in God’s gracious pardon I s when we admit our guilt or sin, our wrong doing with a repentive heart that is ready to change and obey God. We don’t want to be a people who hides our sins. For one, you can’t. God sees all and knows all. We need to come humbly before God with our iniquities. We have to confess our sins. To come humbly before God and/or maybe man is a hard thing to do. It is hard to accept God’s free mercy. Oh, but, the freedom one feels when we confess our sin! We have such relief and peace in our soul.
What confessions do you need to make to God?
Do you have joy and peace?
Do you feel guilt? or do you know you are forgiven with you asked for it?
