Job 11:4 \u00a0 <\/span>For you say, \u2018My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in God’s eyes.\u2019 But oh, that God would speak and open his lips to you, and that he would tell you the secrets of wisdom! For he is manifold in understanding. Know then that God exacts of you less than your guilt deserves.<\/p>\n

Ezra 9:13<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0And after all that has come upon us for our evil deeds and for our great guilt, seeing that you, our God, have punished us less than our iniquities deserved<\/p>\n

Psalms 103:10<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities.<\/p>\n

Psalms 106:43-46<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in their purposes and were brought low through their iniquity.\u00a0\u00a0Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress, when he heard their cry.\u00a0\u00a0For their sake he remembered his covenant, and relented according to the abundance of his steadfast love.<\/p>\n

Lamentations 3:22<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The word of God contains truths of God.\u00a0 <\/span>From early on in our journey of being drawn in by God, His Holiness and our sinfulness and need for forgiveness unfold.\u00a0 <\/span>Our heart is softened and with our mind starting to be opened to the understanding of the mystery of His unfailing and steadfast love for us, we intentionally choose to confess, repent, and fully trust in and rely on, and cling to Jesus Christ.\u00a0 <\/span>We believe in His sacrifice for our sin and God the Father washing our sin stains away, forever gone.\u00a0 <\/span>As we read more and more of God\u2019s Word with a heart, mind, and soul-deep desire and seeking, we see our sinful nature and wonder how it is that God does not repay us according to our sins.\u00a0 <\/span>We see the battle that wages within our soul between sinful self and the new creation, rebirth, being born again self that occurs when we confess, repent, believe, and trust in Jesus Christ.\u00a0 <\/span>We understand more and more each day how self wants to put self ahead of humbly serving, honoring, glorifying, trusting, following, obeying, and relying on Jesus Christ.\u00a0 <\/span>We become aware of those things we know we ought to do but don\u2019t and those things we ought not to do but do.\u00a0 <\/span>In this understanding of our sinful nature, we can only wonder and be awed by the grace, mercy, and love given to us through Jesus Christ.\u00a0 <\/span>When we commit, (intentionally choose) to seek and desire wisdom and understanding from and through time in His Word, we will continue to mature and grow in our understanding of God\u2019s mercy, grace, and love.\u00a0 <\/span>Our heart, mind, and soul will continually be moved by this and we will become more and more humble, honoring, serving, and obeying, in our life walk with Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

It is never too late to make this heart, mind, and soul commitment of living each moment of every day in service to our savior Jesus Christ.\u00a0 <\/span>It is never too late to confess and repent of neglect and complacency.<\/p>\n

It is, however, always to late to waste another minute being self-centered, self-serving, self-helping, self-satisfying, and self-seeking.\u00a0 Choosing to live and walk apart from God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
