“So you testify against yourselves, that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up, then, the measure of the guilt of your fathers” (Matthew 23:31-32).
Guilt is in this age. There are many terrible things that have been done by those who have gone before us. But that guilt is taken to the cross. Yes, I am in bondage to sin, but Christ frees me from sin. Should I go on sinning that grace may abound? May it never be. Instead, we are to humble ourselves so that we walk fully in the presence of the One who made us. Live in the whole truth and know all of its blessings.
Lord, I become comfortable with the way things are. Resurrect these white washed bones in order that I may live the life You have given me. Guide me into the way of truth. Yes, I have had my part of sin. Teach me how to repent and walk in the way You have designed life to be lived. Keep me from slipping back into the way of life that would trap me in this world’s lies. Lead me into Your truth.
Lord Jesus, You speak the words of truth. You have guided me into the truth of the goodness of the Father. Lead me in the way You know I need to go so that truth abounds in me. Let me never be puffed up, but help me to humbly walk in the way of truth that You have revealed. You have given me grace upon grace so that the sin that binds me may be shed to prepare for the eternal life You have given me. Keep me walking with You always. Amen.
