A lot of Christians get ‘tired’ of asking God for His
forgiveness when they fall into a particular sin because they feel they have
fallen into that same sin one time to many…but
why should we be when He Himself never gets tired of forgiving us of that same
sin! If Jesus said for us to GENUINELY forgive our brother 70 times 7 times
when he GENUINELY repents 70 times 7 times then why do we feel God Almighty
wouldn't do the same? There is not a single thing God has told man to do that
He Himself didn’t (and
doesn't) do as an example unto all…not
one!
(Matthew 18:21) Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how
oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
(Matthew 18:22) Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee,
Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
Now the danger with getting ‘tired’
of repentance is that we stand the chance of slipping back unknowingly into the
miry clay of Satan's condemnations and further into sin! It's the devil's lies
to think God is tired of our apologies…He
never is and He never would be as long as they are GENUINE!
(1 John 1:9) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just
to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Finally I believe the desire of every child is to become a
mature adult, the same should be the desire of every Christian too. We shouldn’t become comfortable with a
lifestyle of sin because it isn't our nature anymore…it isn't! Because in all honesty if we have to sin ’70 times 7’ times in a day it's a clear indication we have a
weakness that needs to be addressed with the utmost urgency because the devil
would keep using that same avenue to hinder our lives as Christians.
(Hebrews 12:1) Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about
with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin
which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is
set before us…
I love and God bless
you…
