ALL OUR SINS

“Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.  While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.”

Psalms 146:1,2 KJV

When we serve Jesus, it makes satan very angry and he will try to discourage us so much that we stop serving Jesus.  We must not let that happen.  We must stay on the battlefield for Jesus just as He stayed on the cross for us.  Don’t listen to satan when he says your sins aren’t forgiven because he is a liar.

When I first started writing devotions, satan would tell me Jesus doesn’t love me and never will love me and will never forgive me for what I had done in the past.  I listened to the lies of satan for several months and allowed him to discourage me so much that I was tempted to stop writing devotions.

We need to stop listening to the lies of satan and allowing him to discourage us.  Jesus has warned us about the vicious attacks of satan.  We read in the Bible.  “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” (1 Peter 5:8).

Horatio G. Spafford wrote one of my favorite hymns “It Is Well With my Soul”.  “My sin—oh, the bliss of this glorious thought—My sin—not in part but the whole, Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!”  When Jesus was crucified for us, He took all of our sins on Him.

If you ever think nobody loves you, remember the cross.  Do you understand yet that Jesus loves you and that He loves you unconditionally?  You are precious to Him and He will always love you so don’t listen to the lies of satan, listen to Jesus.
