PURGE YOURSELF OF SIN CONSCIOUSNESS

“For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more” Hebrews 8:12

LIGHT FOR THE NOW: A born again Christian is a new creature, and the new creation has no past.

It is unfortunate that too many Christians are still enslaved by the memories of their past. They are cheerful in one minute and the next minute, they are depressed because they just remembered something they did in the past. But the word of God makes us understand that the moment you got born again, your past ceased to exist. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, old things are passed away, behold, all things are become new”. The Christian is a new creation, and the new creation has no past; he has never existed before. Your old nature, the old you and everything about your earthly, natural human life was supplanted by the very life and nature of God at the New Birth. When God looks at you, He does not see the old you, rather, He sees Christ, because you are in Christ. And in Christ, you have been made righteous. You are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

Something so extra ordinary that Jesus accomplished for us is the remission of sins. Our sins past, present and future were remitted ever before we came into Christ. This happened legally. But we can only come into this vital experience when we are born again. So even when you remember a past mistake or misdemeanor and you feel bad and ask God to forgive you over and over again, He does not have the record; He does not even remember. Christ Jesus paid the full penalty for sin in His death on the Cross. The Bible says it was necessary that Christ should suffer for our sins (Luke 24:46) and we now walk in the newness of life. Romans 6:4 says, “Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in the newness of life”. You are forever blameless in the sight of God, because Jesus died to “…present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight” (Colossians 1:22). 

INSTRUCTION: Never be conscious of sin. It has been taken care of.

PRAYER: Father, thank you for the remission of my sins through Christ Jesus and making me blameless before you, in Jesus name!
