Do you keep a record of sins?




A reminder for us all this morning, if God forgives us, we must forgive others. Thank God for His forgiveness for our sins as we could never stand before Him if He kept our sins held against us. He provided our forgiveness through His Son, Jesus, who shed His blood and died for our sins!



Psalm 130:3-4





3 If You, Lord, should mark iniquities,

O Lord, who could stand?

4 But there is forgiveness with You,

That You may be feared.



Matthew 6:15

But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.



The Psalm verses say God does not keep a record of our sins, and the Matthew verse says if we keep a record and don't forgive we WILL NOT be forgiven! Think on that! There isn't any exceptions that I see either. Not matter how deep the wound we must forgive. This is one of the if not the toughest part of our walk with the Lord, to forgive those who have hurt us....but it must be done.



So this morning, get rid of the score card, give it to Jesus, and forgive....it does the soul good.
