TOPIC: RECEIVING THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS
TEXT: EZEKIEL 18:21-23
TUESDAY DECEMBER 5TH
Key verse: Ezekiel 18: 24 “But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: In his trespass that he hath trespassed and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall we die.”
The Bible says that after you have done all, then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity. Otherwise, you are still in captivity and that is why sins are still following you. No thorough repentance; no thorough confession; no thorough exposing of your sins; sins are still in your life, that is why the Lord has not turned your captivity yet because you have not obeyed all His voice. Maybe His voice says to you, “Go and see the leadership of your church”, and you are busy doing another thing, He cannot turn your captivity since your sin is still there.
You are still under captivity because you have not obeyed all. God cannot respect you. You are not His friend. You are not His partner in creation. You did not make heaven with Him. It is His mercy to take you there. If you want to come back, then go back and do thorough confession, obedience, and exposition of your life before God for real righteousness. Then real righteousness will really begin. Then righteousness would truly spring up because you have met the law. When you have satisfied the demand of the law, righteousness will then become yours.
God is saying, “If a sinner or a backslider wants to live then he must return from all his sin. The one did to the wife, husband, neighbours, or men anywhere. He must return from all the unfaithfulness of his life; all the sins which he has committed and keep all My judgments and laws. Return from all his sins and do all the word of God; it is then he shall live. I am interested that he should live, but I cannot half my demand. I cannot reduce it for him because My word is pure, My word is clean, My word is sure and My word is right. I cannot half it.” Therefore come fully unto the Lord and serve the Lord with the whole of your heart.
Thought for the day: God’s word is pure, clean, pure, and right.
Song for the day: It is Thy word that sets me free…
Bible reading for the day: Daniel 5-6; 1 John 4
