He Acts on Honest Confession
He looks at men and says, "I have sinned, and perverted what was right, and it did not profit me. He will redeem his soul from going down to the pit, and his life shall see the light."
~ Job 33:27-28
When you confess your sins, with your heart to Jesus, He forgives and delivers us from death! |
When we sin, this is what we have to look forward to. Eternal damn-nation |
"This is a word of truth and it is tantamount to a promise. What the Lord has done, and is doing, He will continue to do while the world stands. The Lord will receive all who come to Him with a sincere confession of their sin.
Can we not endorse the language here used? Have we not sinned, sinned personally so as to say, "I have sinned"? Sinned willfully, having perverted what is right? Sinned so as to discover that there is no profit in it, but an eternal loss? Let us then go to God with this honest acknowledgment. Let us plead His promise in the name of Jesus. He will deliver us from the pit of hell; He will grant us life and light. Why should we despair? Why should we doubt? The Lord means what He says. Lord, we confess, and we pray You to forgive!"
