God had forgiven us; we’ve told Him about our sin and asked Him to pardon us. So why can’t we accept the freedom of His forgiveness? Why do we struggle with accepting that God’s grace can erase our sin, wiping it away as if it never happened? It sounds all well and good, but in reality, the weight of sin makes it difficult to believe a perfect God can forgive us. Yet, His Word assures us that God does not count our sin against us. Throughout the Bible, God teaches how an unaccepting heart can be changed and softened to accept His forgiveness. Life is too short to exchange the freedom of grace for the bondage of unbelief. Today, allow God to wash the hurt and regret from past sins away with the transforming power of His truth. And let’s pray for an accepting heart that lives in the freedom of God’s grace and forgiveness. Dear Lord, by faith I accept Your forgiveness and refuse to be a slave to sin You’ve already forgiven. In Jesus’ Name, Amen. (Romans 8:1; Romans 6:14; John 8:36; 2 Corinthians 5:17)
