Little Sins Are A Big Deal

My Utmost For His Highest

 

“In Him we have…the forgiveness of sins…” —Ephesians 1:7

 

“Beware of the pleasant view of the fatherhood of God: God is so kind and loving that of course He will forgive us. That thought, based solely on emotion, cannot be found anywhere in the New Testament. The only basis on which God can forgive us is the tremendous tragedy of the Cross of Christ. […] The only ground on which God can forgive our sin and reinstate us to His favor is through the Cross of Christ. There is no other way! Forgiveness, which is so easy for us to accept, cost the agony at Calvary. We should never take the forgiveness of sin, the gift of the Holy Spirit, and our sanctification in simple faith, and then forget the enormous cost to God that made all of this ours. Forgiveness is the divine miracle of grace. The cost to God was the Cross of Christ.” CHAMBERS

 

It is so easy to trivialize the sins we commit each day … not the big ones that might send you to prison .. but sins all the same.  (James 2:10) “For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all.”  Any sin will come between you and God.   (1 John 1:9) “Confess you sins … God will forgive you”  God loved us so much that He was willing to send His Son to pay the penalty of sin for us.  Jesus’ life was forfeit for all sin for all time.  Keep Jesus in the forefront of your life.  Bind yourself to the cross …  “If any man comes after Me, let him deny himself, pick up his cross (daily) and follow Me.”  (Matthew 16:24) Come to Jesus and live.  ELGIN
