Not Proud of Sin

The Bible tells us that we have all sinned and we have all fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).  We can also read Romans 6:23 which says, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Everyone on the planet is guilty of sin and we are all deserving of eternal punishment because of our sin, but God out of His great love for us sent us His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to pay the price for our sins by shedding His blood on the cross.  We must come to the conclusion that we are sinners and can't save ourselves and then receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.  We are saved by the grace of Jesus Christ by placing our face in His finished work on the cross.

There are many people in our world today that seem to be proud of their sin and they make a big spectacle to thumb their nose at God.  The sin of pride can lead us down a very dark road indeed.  The devil was cast out of Heaven because of his pride.  Pride is dangerous and we are all in danger of falling into that pattern if we are not careful.

The Lord will humble those who are proud and He will exalt those who humble themselves.  I would rather humble myself then have God humble me.  He has had to humble me several times over the years and those times are always hard and trying, but needed I must admit.  Sometimes we get caught up in our selfish ambitions and take our eyes off of the Lord and we get ourselves into trouble.

Sometimes we become so foolish and we think we can do things on our own with out the Lord's help, but the truth of the matter is that we can't do anything with out the Lord.  We must never be proud of our sin, but we must confess our sins to the Lord and receive His forgiveness.  We can only find forgiveness through Jesus Christ.  He is the Savior that we need.

The world needs to repent of their sins and turn to the Lord Jesus to find forgiveness of their sins.  The day is drawing near when the Lord will return to judge the world and everyone will have to give an account of their lives to Him.  Those who reject Jesus as their Savior will have to pay for their own sins on their own by being placed into a literal hell outside the presence of God.

May we believers in Jesus Christ continue to proclaim the truth of His Word to this world that seems bent of being proud of their sinfulness.

Lord,
I praise Your Name.
Forgive us for our pride.
We come humbly to Your throne of grace.
Help us to tell others the Gospel message.
Come Soon Lord Jesus.
In Jesus Name I pray,
Amen.
