“My tongue will speak of your righteousness and of your praises all day long.”
Psalm 35:28
“He breaks the power of canceled sin,/ He sets the prisoner free;/ His blood can make the foulest clean;/ His blood availed for me.”
This one line from Charles Wesley’s hymn written in 1739 can tell our story in a nutshell. In one form or another, we have broken every one of the ten commandments. And yet the Lord has graciously paid for and forgiven us every sin we have ever committed and will commit. That is why He died. It’s almost too much to comprehend.
This forgiveness is available for every one of us, whatever sins and rebellion have fouled us. We all are repeat offenders who have scorned the loving God who made us. But we are not beyond redemption. He will cleanse us completely! Don’t believe the lie that Satan first generated in the Garden of Eden, casting doubt on the infinite love our Creator has for us.
Confess your sins and repent. Ask the Lord’s forgiveness. Do not delay any longer. “Jesus! the name that charms our fears,/ That bids our sorrows cease;/ ‘Tis music in the sinner’s ears,/ ‘Tis life, and health, and peace.”
