Go And Sin No More
Monday 16th February
Text: John 8:3-11
Key Verse: She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. John 8:11
If you say that your sins have been forgiven, it means that you have forsaken the sins; you are not committing sins anymore. Some come with their idols on their faces and say they have come to seek God. Sin is still in their lives, and they say they are worshipping God. What makes you a child of God when sin is still in your life? Do you remember what you did in the night before you woke up? How are you a child of God with sin in your life? Do you remember the evil conversation you had with your friends? Then, how are you a child of God? Forgiveness of sins means you have been pardoned and are not committing sin again. If a child who stole a piece of meat from the pot feels guilty, then came to the mother to say; “Mother, I did a bad thing, I took a piece of meat from the pot, please forgive me.” What does the child mean? Does he mean the mother should forgive him for this stealing because he is coming back again to steal? Is that what that child is asking the mother to do for him?
Is the child saying, “Mother, I don’t know how many times I will steal from the pot, but I just want to come and tell you that I have begun? I have done the first stealing, and I am asking you to forgive the first stealing.” Is that what the child is saying? The child instead is saying, “Mother, I am sorry for what I did; Forgive me and I will do it no more.” That is what you mean when you come to God and say He should forgive you. Asking God for forgiveness means you regret doing the evil and promise never to repeat it in your life. Romans 6:1,2 “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?” When your sins are forgiven, don't go back to it again, because you may not get the opportunity again. Hebrews 12:17 "For you know that afterward, when he will have inherited the blessings, he was rejected; for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.”
