The Néed for Forgiveness

Proverbs 20:9

“Who can say , “I have made my heart clean; I am pure from my sin?”

We are quick to see the sins of others, and just as quick to condemn them.  We have a false sense of our own goodness, but we, in reality, we are no better than other people.  We have the same thoughts, the same desires, the same wishes. 

Although we are people of faith and we have the assurance of our salvation, we still have the need to fall on our knees before God and ask for forgiveness.

We still sin.   And in this, we are all the same. 

God’s forgiveness makes us clean.

Nothing else.

May the love of Christ be with you,

Rev. Eric Lanier (Retired)
