Freedom From the Past

Some have trouble really believing in the extent of Christ’s work for us on the cross. We’re slow and strangely reluctant to believe in the liberating truth of 1 John 1:9. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

I don’t know what one sin you may have committed that the enemy keeps throwing up in your face, but whatever it is, Jesus saw the whole thing. He loves you and He’s forgiven you. Perhaps He’s wondering how long you’ll let the enemy make a slave out of you. The next time Satan throws up that one sin in your face, tell him to take a long walk off a short pier. And tell him to take that chain with him. Remember, believers redeemed by Christ are sinners freed from chains.
