amen. Now if He bares our sins and heals us by His stripes, how is it that we are reaping what we have sown when we have sown bad seeds? I hope I'm saying this in a way that it's being understood. I had nasal surgery yesterday and still feeling the effects of the anesthesia. Sorry if I'm showing the signs in my posts and not being clear.
First thanks for the response, second, hope you a speedy recovery. third, easy, we reap bad when we don't
confess our sins. it's call forgiveness. supportive scripture, 1 John 1:5 "This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 "If we say that we have
fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light,
we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son
cleanseth us from all sin. 8 "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. (READ THAT AGAIN) 9 "If we confess our sins,
he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and
to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 "If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us". confession is GOOD for the soul Like milk is GOOD for the body.
remember these two words. Relationship & Fellowship. the Relationship never change, but the Fellowship or the enjoyment of that Relationship can be interrupted by our sins. but this is where confession come in at under the NEW COVENANT 1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness". and the reason why many Christian suffer in reaping what they sow, is in A. ignorance of God Word. and B. hardness of heart. take it to God and leave it there. Obedience is better than sacrifice. amen.
and this is all possible because we have a Great High Priest who paid the price for our sins. and this Great High Priest is also our mediator/Advocate. scripture, 1 John 2:1 "My little children, these things write I unto you,
that ye sin not. And if any man sin,
we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous" ain't that GOOD news. and that advocate is within us, he dwells there. that's the reason why, if we do one another wrong, he will not put up with it. excuse my french, "He will WORRY the HELL out of you", until you get is right with you brother or sister. see, this SEED, Christ Jesus live in us. that's why we can't sin. because of the SEED of God in us. he want let us do wrong, and get away with it.
Remember these words, Relationship & Fellowship. and the Glove in hand with them, FORGIVENESS and CONFESSION.
sorry about the length of the post.
