The day I fully believed that all my sins were forgiven was the day the love of God broke through to my heart. On that day I knew that I knew that I knew God truly and genuinely loved me. His love started driving out the fear in my heart just as he promised.
I want this for you.
Fear makes us ask “Is there something we need to do when we sin?” Love has a better question. “What does God do when we sin?”
Understanding these actions will radically change how you see sin.
- He reminds you of Christ’s death on the cross and the forgiveness you have in Him. (1 John 2:12)
- He assures you that you are a child of God. (Romans 8:15,16)
- He shows you the consequences of your sin and then works in you the desire to be reconciled to those you’ve hurt. (Romans 13:10)
- He teaches you to say “no” to sin. (Titus 2:11)
- He encourages you to put off the old, and put on the new. (Ephesians 4:22-24 & Colossians 3:5-14).
- He works all things together for your good. (Romans 8:28)
- He continues to complete the work he began in you. (Philippians 1:6)
| Study these seven actions God takes on your behalf. Let the truth of these verses cement the truth of God’s love deeply within your heart.
In Him,
