When you make mistakes, remember that you have an Advocate before the Father. He is your greatest Champion, Supporter, Backer, and Spokesman! His name is Jesus, the righteous One! He has paid the price for your sins—not just yours, but the sins of the entire world (1 John 2:1-2).
The Holy Spirit witnesses to you: “I will remember your sins no more.” That means God will never be irate, annoyed, or cross with you. Does this bear witness in your heart (Hebrews 10:17, Isaiah 54:9)?
Know who you are in Christ Jesus. Don’t ever forget you were cleansed from all your sins, my friend. If you stray down the path of shame and guilt, you’ll lose sight of your future and your purpose will fade. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of your faith, and you’ll remain faithful. (2 Peter 1:8-9)
There was one ultimate sacrifice for all your sins. When Jesus’ work was finished, He sat down at the right hand of God. There is nothing more for Him to do. He has cleansed all your sins, past, present, and future, my friend! His blood has opened the way for you into the very presence of God (Hebrews 10:12, 19-20).
There is no separation from the Father. When you truly behold Him, you will witness something extraordinary: the reality of who you are in Him becoming tangible in your life. You will undergo a transformative journey, gradually resembling Him more and more (2 Corinthians 3:18).
God gives more grace to the humble (James 4:6). Rejoice in Jesus’ sacrifice and humbly surrender yourself to more and more of His grace, my friend. The more you behold Him, the greater you rejoice in His sacrifice and live an abundant life in Him.
