How to unlearn what we think we know so we can find freedom and forgiveness
God changes us from the inside out, and we live the rest of our lives knowing we are here for a reason.
Because God has unlimited mercy, we can feel confident that anything we bring up to him will be met with compassion, understanding, and forgiveness.
In this devotional, we will ask ourselves a few questions to reflect on how we view God so we can understand who he really is.
The Bible teaches how to build confidence in God, not self.
Learning why we distance so we can learn how to draw closer to God.
Guilt is overwhelming, but God can free us from it. We must learn how to deal with guilt biblically so that we don’t get overwhelmed by the stress, anxiety, and emotionalism it causes.
The longer you do something, the easier it becomes to forget why you started doing it. This can happen to us with Christianity. If you have a seared conscience, these steps will help your heart heal.
It is easy to try to rely on something as tangible as money for security. What are times in your life when you have faced guilt or regret, and relied on wealth or money, rather than turning to God for forgiveness?
With secure confidence in the saving power of God, we tightly grip the “sword of the Spirit”, which is God’s Word, and then march forward in our fight to rescue others from the darkness.
Pray about your lack of trust in God. What areas of your life are you unwilling to trust God with, and how has this affected your desire to pray? How has it affected your desire to read your Bible?
Jesus's confidence was in God, so when people were fickle he remained faithful, which is why I think so many people found him attractive. We must read the scriptures with greater intensity to learn this confidence, so we continue to keep the dream of Jesus alive and build his kingdom, regardless of whether we are many or few, important or irrelevant, succeeding or failing, being criticized or praised.
