TOPIC - Forgiveness of Sins
BIBLE TEXT - Acts 5:31 AMP
God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior and Deliverer, in order to grant repentance to Israel, and [to grant] forgiveness of sins.
Apostle Peter stood tall before the council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court) to speak with boldness about a God who Saves and sets free any sinner from the power of sin. As a man who has been shown mercy though a man once filled with sinful ways, the Holy Spirit quickened him through his personal testimony of experiencing true forgiveness of sins before the Jewish High Court. Peter was a local fisherman with no knowledge of the gospel truth, who lived as he pleased. Until he encountered Jesus when Christ was walking by the sea of Galilee and he spotted Simon Peter who was in his boat struggling to catch a few fishes for days. Like many out there today who are living in sin and still struggling to make ends meet, Jesus is passing through that street, area, locality and location just to set you free. If only you will open up like Simon Peter.
Luke 5:8 KJV
When Simon Peter saw it (the glory of God), he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
They way into freedom from sin is to confess that you are a sinner and that you need the help of God. Peter found forgiveness for all his sins as he opened up to Jesus Christ. He confessed that he was unworthy to be visited by the Son of God and his life became a wonder both to himself and the world. Stop hiding your faults and errors from God's representatives in your life. Many people today witness the mighty acts of God but fail to connect themselves when the grace of God is made available through faith and confession of sins to be washed from their stains.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday with Peter, and is here today, to forgive as many as will confess all their sins to him. He took Peter's past and threw it away that sin could no longer stain the glorious future God has for him. You can be bold like Peter and run to the Savior Jesus, so your testimony may stand out in places you least expect, all for the glory of our Heavenly Father.
PRAYER
Heavenly Father, I confess that I am sinful man. Help me! Please wash my sins away by the blood of Jesus Christ. I want to be a changed man, please set me free from the power of sin.
INSIGHT
Jesus Christ is available to forgive all your sins and set you back on track for the purpose of God to be made manifest in your life.
