Day 256
The enemy wants to make us believe that there must be something more that needs to be done with our sin. He whispers, "there is no way your sin can be forgiven, no way." This is a lie. The flood of blood, from Jesus Christ, time traveled through all of history like a wave of lava destroying everything in its path. The blood, beyond powerful, sonic boomed through time zones; ancient, postclassical, modern and all the way to contemporary. Not only did His blood hound out the target of sin but obliterated it.
The enemy wants to make us believe that we can take care of our sin. But we do not have enough cash, goodness, justice, understanding or insight to do this. This is a lie. To believe this means looking away from a dying Savior who offered His own perfect body to pay the steep penalty. Your sin was taken care of, destroyed, thousands of years before you committed it. Let that love fact sink.
When you ask for forgiveness you are believing that you have sinned and that He is the only one from whom to seek forgiveness. You thank God when you ask Him for forgiveness.
To partake of communion is to visibly understand, by faith, that the bread and blood, His Body, course through my inner man reminding that my conscience is clear, that I am clean. We eat bread and drink wine in remembrance of a terrible and painful death. Faith is believing what our minds cannot comprehend, our sins are no more.
