The word sin means: “Breaking God’s law. Missing the mark”. The Apostle John told the believers that he wrote God’s instructions to them so that they would not sin. This way, they would always have the proper wisdom and instructions to know how to live pleasing to God in their daily lives. 1 John 2:1 says: “My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous”. Note however that he also taught that we do sin or miss the mark, our advocate, Jesus Christ would intercede for us before the Father. We have a righteous advocate that is ever interceding for us. Be comforted today and know that He is aware of the fact that you are doing your best to live righteously for His glory. Know also that provision has already been made when you sin and miss the mark. Just go before God in humility and ask for forgiveness. Your intercessor is seated on the right hand of the Father, so you are covered by His love and His blood. You don’t have to walk in guilt or condemnation. You are loved and forgiven!
Can you see the light?
Knowledge and wisdom is only good and effective if we use and apply it. King David asked God to give him understanding of his precepts and guiding principles so that he could meditate and focus his thoughts on them. This is important because most people are deceived and think that what they are being taught by TV, their professors, their friends and family is the absolute truth. There is also a strong re-education and brainwashing taking place on a national level where some in high places are forcing us to believe a strong delusion and lie. It is more important than ever that we ask God to “open the eyes” of our understanding so that we can truly walk in the “light” of God’s wisdom and understanding. Have you been taking what you know and what you are being taught as “truth”? Or are you observing the strong winds of change with open eyes? I counsel you to ask God to give you understanding of His guiding principles so that you can truly walk in the “light” of His knowledge and help others to “see the light”.
Psalm 119: 27 (AMP) “Make me understand the way of Your precepts (guiding principles), So that I will meditate (focus my thoughts) on Your wonderful works”.
