You Can't Hide From God

You can hide your sins from people, but you can NEVER hide your sins from God.


You can't hide from God!!!


~ Sins can be those of omission (things you should have done...but didn't).


Quote from yesterday read, "When Christians side with wrong, that speaks volumes as to their true character."  Also when you stand by and do NOTHING.....when you should have done SOMETHING......that's a sin of omission.  Siding with WRONG is never a good thing.


~ Sins can also be those of commitment (things you have actually done wrong....and shouldn't have). That's self-explanatory!!


God already knows what you're trying to hide.....and eventually others will find out as well.  Sin doesn't stay hidden for long before it rears its ugly head and comes to the surface.


1John 1:9 says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."  (God will forgive our sins when we ask him to.)


BUT WE ALSO HAVE THE FOLLOWING.....(and I'm sure most of us would like to forget about this verse).


James 5:16a says, "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.   (If we wrong another, the Bible plainly tells us that we are to confess, to that person, that we have wronged them....and humbly ask their forgiveness.)


Do you have sin in your life?


By omission?


By standing by and allowing wrong to happen without doing a thing?


By actually committing wrong?


Come to Jesus.  He will forgive you for what you have done.


Go to the person you have wronged!  I can't say whether or not they will forgive you.....but at least you have done your part and asked to be forgiven.


Don't miss heaven for the sake of PRIDE!!
