U Turn to God!

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  (1 John 1:9 NKJV)

Maybe today, you feel like a failure. Take heart... you are. Yep, you read correctly, I just called you a failure. I know, it's not PC (politically correct), but it is B-I-B-L-E. The Bible is clear, "...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,"  (Romans 3:23 NKJV). We have ALL missed the mark; we have all failed. 

Now if the story would stop there, it would be a sad ending for all of us. Remember, "For the wages of sin is death..." However, Paul goes on to say, "but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."  (Romans 6:23 NASB). The Bible also says, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."  (Romans 5:8 NIV).

You see, the reason Jesus came and died on the cross was to redeem us from our failure to keep God's law (a.k.a. sin). But it doesn't stop there. He cleanses us from all unrighteousness. That means He not only forgives us of our sin but He changes our heart's motives and gives us His Holy Spirit who helps us live a life that looks like His... holy and pure. Now that's good news! So, where's your heart?
