God is Holy and He wants us to be Holy. Exodus 15:11 Psalm 99:9, Isaiah 6:3, Revelation 15:4, Leviticus 11:45, 1 Peter 1:16
Our God is a consuming fire. He is not like the other gods that we see in other religions. He is God Almighty, the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. He is the God who created the universe into being. He is the Lord of Lords, the king of kings, the mighty God.
He sent his son to redeem us from the penalty, the power and the presence of sin.
When someone knows a right to do and they don't do it, it is sin to them. Sin is missing the mark.
We all have fallen short of the glory of God.
Our Lord Jesus came into this world that we may live life to the fullest. Hallelujah! Praise be to God.
His love is indeed amazing. He is the God of the second chance, not only the second, but even if some among us has messed up for the 10,000th time, God is still waiting to forgive and reconcile us. Our part is to repent, to be willing to turn away from our sins, confess them to him and the blood of Jesus Christ will cleanse us from every wrong.
Hallelujah!
For some of us who have been Christians for some time, God's will for us is to grow into maturity, not remain babes in Christ but to grow to be sons and daughters of God.
God has given us his precious promises and commands so that we will cleanse ourselves from all defilement of the flesh and the spirit.2 Corinthians 7:1, Hebrews 12;14, 2 Peter 3:11 Let us press on to the upward call in Christ Jesus!
