“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”~ 1 Jn. 1:9
Who among God’s elect has not fallen into some sort of dreadful sin, at one time or another? Each, I’m sure, remembers the excitement and exhilaration experienced when that load was lifted, the conscience cleansed, and fellowship restored; when we began again with an all new fresh start.
Well, my friend, this is not only true of certain intervals, but, no, not daily, but moment by moment. You do not have to wait till bedtime or find a place you can get alone. There is no place or situation you can find yourself that you cannot, in that very second, find forgiveness and cleansing by simple confession. “And immediately the man was made whole…”
And once this is done, as A.W. Tozer brings to our attention, God forgives us as if we were newly created; like we had no past. Glory over me! We can have that sense of a fresh beginning over and over again, moment by moment. What a God!
