1 | how many unforgiven sins are there? | Eph 1:7 | Wild Olive Shoot | 166606 | ||
There seems to be many of us lionheart, who at times attempt to rationalize Scripture and place it not so much out of context, but out of conscience. We sometimes fail to realize that what Christ deemed important to inform us and what the Holy Spirit lead the Apostles to record, was given to us for a reason and not as a filler. I find it hard to imagine that Christ Himself would demonstrate anything for us and be our example simply so we can say it isn't relevant and doesn't pertain because he never said, "this I command of you". If we would truly treasure every divinely inspired word God has given us, we would have much less rationalization and plenty more action in line with God's Spirit. Just another thought, can me confessing my sins to you or you confessing to me actually relieve us of the guilt we gain in sinning? Somewhat maybe, but surely not in full. I think it is an appropriate thing to do, confess one to another as Scripture dictates, but I also think it appropriate that the God who will pardon us is the only one that can remove the guilt as well, therefore, I'll confess to Him to be fully relieved. I’m with you on this one, if we don’t feel we need to confess and repent before God, what makes us think we will even do it before one another? Great point. WOS |
