Mistakes

What happens when you make a mistake?  A moral mistake.

 

Do you admit in humility that you have done wrong, in committing an offense against the Most Holy; an offense that is worthy of eternal punishment because any offense is an infinite crime when against an infinitely holy God?

 

Do you then throw yourself on His mercy, trusting that He is as merciful to His children as He is Holy?

 

It sounds dramatic when considered in these terms, but it should be dramatic.  Wildly so.  As dramatic as the sacrifice of the life of the greatest man who has ever walked the earth.  As dramatic as the death of God the Son.  As dramatic as his return to life and subsequent ascension to the heavens.

 

Most of us do not appreciate the great glory of God in the moment-by-moment forgiveness of God.  But even in the smallest appreciation, which puts trust in Christ for forgiveness, there you will find the work of the Spirit.
