"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" and "Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed." John 8:32 + 36 NKJV
'God will never forgive you now!' This is a lie that Satan whispers in our ear when we have committed a sin. We may have sinned but, we belong to the Truth - Jesus, and He sets us free as we confess our wrongdoings to Him. There is no condition such as, 'If you do this again, we are through.' Jesus is the Truth and He forgives us 1 John 1:9 period.
Tony Evans, in his excellent bible commentary writes:
'We live in a society that denies absolute truth, claiming, "What's true for you may not be true for me." But truth is not based on our feelings, experiences or desires. Truth is God's viewpoint on every matter and it is not subject to redefinition.'
The Tony Evans Bible Commentary
Pilate asked Jesus, 'What is truth?' John 18:38. He genuinely wanted to know. We know this answer, truth is Jesus John 14:6. Knowing this truth results in genuine freedom. Jesus provides this. We are no longer condemned before God. Jesus, on our confession in Him, has set us free. But, we must continue to read and walk in His Word.
When you think about it, the devil has tricked you time and time again with his lies. He doesn't like you because you are a threat. Therefore, he will pick up on the slightest accusation that he can find and torment you with it. He will also convince you that you are not able to do a certain task that you know Jesus wants you to do. He will do all he can to disable you. Be encouraged; you are a threat to him, this is why he attacks you. If he can stop you from doing God's will, he is happy. Don't let him be. You are a Soldier of the Living Jesus, in God's Army don't let anyone tell you different. You may feel that you are insignificant but Jesus knows better. You are a warrior.
Pick up your bible. It is your sword. Put on the rest of God's armour (Ephesians 6) and go out boldly in the Name of Jesus. You are of the Truth and the Truth - Jesus, has set you free.
