Have you fallen into sin lately and are struggling with shame and guilt?
Maybe it’s something you did in your past that you’ve never been able to get over.
Perhaps you’ve been away from God for a while, and you feel unworthy to come back to the Lord.
If you read Hebrews 11 – the “Hall of Faith”, you’ll find some very interesting characters.
The men and women listed were deeply flawed and imperfect people.
The examples of powerful men and women of faith we see in Scripture are men and women who fell – some who fell hard.
And yet, God forgave them…. and the honored their trust in His goodness.
We cannot earn God’s forgiveness. That is a free gift.
In Nehemiah 8 we see that the walls of Jerusalem are built and Ezra stands to read the Law of the Lord to the children of Israel who have returned from exile.
Many of them were about to hear the Law for the first time.
As Ezra reads, they begin to weep and mourn. They realize how far they had strayed from God’s commands.
This became a day of repentance and restoration from God.
In verse 10, Nehemiah says these very important words:
Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.
Many times, we can get lost in our sorrow, as if the depth of our sorrow proves to God just how sorry we are.
God knows our hearts. We don’t need to prove to Him anything.
Our tears cannot atone for our sins. But His blood can! And that is a reason to rejoice, not sorrow.
Here are 10 Bible verses for when you fall into sin.
When we’ve fallen into sin, God wants us to remember that as long as we are breathing, there is forgiveness for our sins.
