Psalm 26: 1-12

Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.

We have the opportunity to claim innocence now. We have the opportunity to stand before God and say we are holy. Jesus commands us to be perfect as God is perfect. Jesus would not tell us that if it were impossible for us to do it. In other words, through Jesus' reconciling death, and through the power of the Holy Spirit, we are able to be without sin. 'Go and sin no more,' are the words Jesus shares with the woman caught in adultery. Jesus says the same thing to us. These are not empty words. Jesus wants us to live a life without sin, and he gives the power, the ability to do that. We have all sinned and fallen short of God's glory, but when we accept Jesus into our hearts as personal Lord and Savior we are equipped to live a life without sin from that moment on. We cannot do it by ourselves. We need to accept Jesus' help. But through Jesus, through the Spirit, we can live the life God wants us to live. God bless you.
