Just read it again today during my time of “coffee with the Lord”…
A very wise man reminds us in the Bible, “Fear [reverence] God and obey His commands, for this is our duty! God will judge us for everything we do, including every secret thing, whether good or bad.” (From Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 NLT)
But praise God, that’s not the WHOLE story…
“If we confess [acknowledge] our sin to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from ALL wickedness.” (1 John 1:9 NLT) and “He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west!” (Psalm 103:12 NLT)
Whew… am I glad! (I have a BC – “Before Christ” – just like you do) and some stumbles along the way that need His forgiveness and cleansing!)
