From Decision Magazine:
The Bible teaches that our sins will find us out, “for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap” (Galatians 6:7). In this life, our sins will find us out in ruined character, broken homes, confused minds, disillusioned hearts and empty souls.
There are many mysteries about it all, but God has revealed to us that sin is a transgression of the law and a “missing of the mark.” We are told what sin is. We are warned about its terrible and tragic consequences. We are told to flee the wrath of God. We are told to repent of sin before it is too late.
Great is the mystery of lawlessness. However, there is another mystery that is even greater. It is called in the Bible “the mystery of godliness”—the secret, unseen, unmeasured power that lies in the inspiration, guidance and comfort of the Holy Spirit, who is within all those who have trusted Jesus Christ as Savior.
If you have never known the power of this greater mystery, open your heart to Christ and receive Him now, trusting Him as your Savior and Lord.
Prayer
Most Precious Lord, we acknowledge the presence of sin in our lives and are so thankful for the salvation You offer through Jesus. We ask forgiveness for our sins and accept Jesus’ death on the cross as the full and final payment for our transgressions. We turn to You for the victorious life that honors You and which flows from Jesus’ resurrection. In Christ’s Name. Amen.
