A Tough Truth
“Do not be deceived ... whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.”
—Galatians 6:7
One of life’s hardest lessons is that we cannot turn back the clock and change something we’ve already done. When we make a wrong decision or act foolishly, we have to live with the consequences, bitter as they may be. In biblical terms, we must reap what we have sown.

Then why bother to ask for God’s forgiveness? If nothing is going to change—if we still must face the consequences of our sin—why seek God’s forgiveness?

One reason is because it is the only way to deal with our guilt. Down inside we feel unclean and ashamed for what we’ve done—but when we turn to Christ and seek His forgiveness, that burden of guilt is lifted. When we seek His forgiveness, the Bible says, “The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin” (1 John 1:7).

But we need God’s forgiveness also to keep from becoming spiritually hardened. Unconfessed sin leads inevitably to spiritual coldness. Does any sin in your life need to be brought to God for forgiveness?
Wisdom for Today

Thank You, Lord, that we can have peace with God even in the midst of the earthly consequences for our sin. Help us repent quickly so we can experience the freedom of knowing that we are forgiven.
