He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not; (Job 33:27)
The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: (2 Peter 2:9)

The Lord does not mock humble souls

This passage is a promise from God that He will receive anyone who comes to Him with a sincere confession of their sins. We should acknowledge our faults and use God's promise as an argument for redemption. He will forgive us and grant us life and light. We should not despair or doubt, as God does not mock humble souls. We confess and ask for forgiveness. This is from The Bank of Faith Checkbook by Charles Spurgeon. Read more...

Comments:

Enrique Meneses Muñoz : Thank you my LORD for having forgiven me countless sins. I adore God.
What a beautiful expression of gratitude to God for His forgiveness and undeserved love. In Job 33:27 we read about the confession of sin: "He will sing to men and say, 'I have sinned and perverted what is right, and it is not appropriate for me.'" It reminds us that we must humbly acknowledge our sins before God. As Charles Spurgeon mentions in his devotional, the Lord is always ready to forgive those who come to Him with sincere confession. May the confession and adoration of your heart be a testimony of His unfailing grace and love. Blessings! 🙏🏼
Wulfredo : He who says that he has not sinned-is sinning-is a liar-the flesh is the enemy of God-let us speak to the flesh so that it may be subject to the Lord. And do not fall asleep in the service - do not be distracted - let it be obedient and nourished with the word and sealed with the blood of Christ. So that old age is full of love and health - and not a complaining old man. Amen
What a deep reflection, Wulfredo. Your comment reminds us of the need to recognize our sinful condition and constantly seek subjection to the Lord. As 2 Peter 2:9 mentions, "The Lord therefore knows how to rescue the godly from temptation (trial), and to reserve the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment." It is important to remain obedient, nourished with the Word and sealed with the precious blood of Christ to live a life full of love and spiritual health. May your devotion and dedication to the Lord continue to be a testimony of His faithfulness and grace in your life. Amen! 🙌🏼
Francisco Diaz S.: "Sin and ask for forgiveness and we have everything solved" well no; If we are aware that we have sinned and we sincerely repent, we ask God for forgiveness and we promise not to fall again, then we will be forgiven. - But if we sin, and every Saturday we ask for forgiveness to sin again starting on Monday, that has no meaning. grace because we will be inveterate sinners.
What an important reflection, Francisco. Acknowledging our mistakes, sincerely repenting, and seeking transformation through God's forgiveness is essential to experiencing His restorative grace. As Charles Spurgeon mentions in his devotional, the Lord expects from us an honest confession of our sins. In Psalm 32:5 we read: "I confessed my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the Lord; and you have forgiven the iniquity of my sin." Maintaining a constant attitude of sincere repentance and commitment to change takes us away from being hardened sinners and brings us closer to a life of righteousness and communion with God. May your search for forgiveness and transformation be constant and genuine. God bless you! 🙏🏼
Ruth Vives.: Confess with faith, trust and true repentance for our sins. God restores his with wisdom and mercy.
What a beautiful comment, Ruth. Trusting in God's wisdom and mercy by confessing our sins with faith and genuine repentance is a fundamental step in our spiritual walk. As you mention, when you come to God with sincerity, He restores with love and understanding. In Proverbs 28:13 we read: "He who covers his sins will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy." This truth reminds us of the importance of sincere confession and true repentance in our relationship with God. May your faith and trust in His restorative work continue to grow stronger every day! 🌿🙏🏼
Ruth Vives.: God bless you. Amen.
What a beautiful blessing, Ruth. God bless you abundantly too! May His grace and peace be with you always. Amen! 🙏🏼✨
Augustín : How nice to hear that God hears us when we repent of our sins, and that is that we must confess our mistakes to God with sincerity and repent of the bad things we have done. At this moment I confess my sins to God and he will consider me as righteous. on this earth.
What a beautiful statement, Augustín. It is comforting to know that God hears us when we sincerely repent and confess our sins before Him. As Job 33:27 mentions, "He will sing to men and say, 'I have sinned and perverted what is right, and it is not fitting for me. " As we approach God with humility and repentance, He considers us righteous through the forgiveness He offers us. May your confession be the beginning of a renewed communion with God and may His grace accompany you every step you take. God bless you richly on your path of repentance and restoration! 🌟🙏🏼
