So many people view this Christian life as a struggle in so many ways. The main struggle people have is dealing with sin. Christians tend to live a sin free life. There are great benefits in this effort but, it will never completely happen.
The reaction to sin is different for different people. Whenever Christians sin, some verbally abuse themselves saying, “I hate myself” or “I’m so stupid.” Others minimize or remove their status with God saying, “I’m not worthy God” or “God doesn’t love me anymore.” Then you have the people who just give up saying, “This Christian life is too hard, I quit!” If we keep beating ourselves when we sin, we might find ourselves doing all three.

Sin was never intended to be conquered on our own. That’s why God sent His Son Jesus to die for ALL of our sins. With the death and resurrection of Jesus, God WILL NOT, I repeat, WILL NOT count our sins against us (Romans 4:8). 1 Peter 4:8 says love covers a multitude of sins. Jesus loved us so much until His love through His sacrifice covered ALL our sins.

This IS NOT giving people a license to sin but, a sense of peace when we sin. We have peace knowing we have a Savior who died for our sins and a God who does not hold our sins against us.

Praise God we are free!
