Remove My Guilt

 

REMOVE MY GUILT

Psalm 25:11

For the sake of Your name, O LORD, remove my guilt, because it is great.

Psalm 19:13 Keep Your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless and cleansed of great transgression. Psalm 79:9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name; deliver us and atone for our sins, for the sake of Your name. Psalm 143:11 For the sake of Your name, O LORD, revive me. In Your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble. Romans 5:16-17 Again, the gift is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment that followed one sin brought condemnation, but the gift that followed many trespasses brought justification. For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive an abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ! Romans 10:8-10 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved.

I believe that Jesus Christ Is LORD, that God raised Him from the dead. In my heart I believe and am justified; with my mouth I confess that Jesus Christ Is LORD, and God saves me.

It is both that easy and that hard; simple and difficult. God calls everyone to salvation:

John 3:16-17

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes on Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

(where it says "world" put your name, because you have born into this world)

Romans 8:29

For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers.

Predestination just means God had a plan all set up before we were even born that would allow us to become His sons and daughters. It does not mean that God knows ahead of time who will be saved and who will not.

How cool is that?

Ephesians 1:4-5

But the one who loves God is known by God. He predestined us for adoption as His sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of His will.

1 Corinthians 8:3

But the one who loves God is known by God.

Do you love God? Do you believe that Jesus Christ Is LORD? There is no later, there is only Now, only Today:

2 Corinthians 6:2

For He says: "In the acceptable time I listened to you, and in the day of salvation I helped you." Behold, now is the time of favor; behold, now is the day of salvation.

If you have not yet accepted Christ as LORD, now is the time to make that decision. Tomorrow is not promised.

2 Peter 3:9-11

The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as some understand slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance.

But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar, the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and its works will be laid bare.

Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to conduct yourselves in holiness and godliness.

James 4:14

You do not even know what will happen tomorrow! What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

Psalm 39:5

You, indeed, have made my days as handbreadths, and my lifetime as nothing before You. Truly each man at his best exists as but a breath. Selah.

Come, now is the time.
