Know Better, Do Better

Good Morning!! One of the main purposes of God’s law is to make us aware of our sin. We are often tempted to claim that we have done,...or at least willing to do all that God wants of us,...but the more we read His Word,...the more we realize just how much we've gone astray, or keep falling short. Knowledge of God’s Word convicts us of sin,...and we stand silent before Him. The whole world is held accountable to Him.

Through the law comes the knowledge of sin.—Romans 3:20 (NIV)

Since we can never plead ignorance with God... a better route is to acknowledge our sins,...both sins of commission, and sins of omission,...and to seek His forgiveness. How that works is the story of the gospel.

Our ignorance will not excuse our sin,...we are breaking God's Law,...and the Bible we've ignored continue to point out out error.

Father, Your law is good, even when it convicts us of our of sins. Forgive us, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

"God doesn't comfort us just to make us comfortable,...He comforts us to make us comforters."
