1 John 2:1
My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: (NET)
John had built his Career Upon lies, yet he said he was born again and God forgives his sins even before he asks because Jesus has already paid for them. He did not realize that he was only deceiving himself because real Christians do not continue in sin.
We saw yesterday that Repenting before God entails confessing your sin (acknowledging that it is sin, opening up your weakness before God and Seeking his strength) and forsaking your sin.
Even Though God forgives sins, we must know that every sin is a weight that hinders a Christian from attaining the fullness of Christ, and weights slow down. Anything that slows you down slows down your glory because God’s glory increases as our race advances.
Many giants never appeared because they did not lay off the weight that hindered them from fulfilling their destinies. Think about Joseph, do you think he would have fulfilled his destiny if he fell and kept falling into sin with Potiphar’s Wife? He probably would have remained a 'big boy' in Potiphar’s house and never would have fulfilled his great destiny of leading the world.
Go into today Knowing that you have been given the power to lay off every weight and the sin that easily entangles you. Continue to follow Jesus’s example; He walked with the consciousness of His destination.
Prayer: thank you father for giving me the grace to shed every weight. I pray you help me look only Unto Jesus for life and Inspiration, In Christ's name I pray. Amen.
