If this is truly what you believe then why would a pastor get up in front of a congregation (Elmbrook) and ask God to forgive their sins this week. If you think God has forgiven sin then why do a series on the 10 commandments and hold people up to the law, a standard that we can’t achieve anyway. I think that is one of the problems in the church is that people have been guilted so much that even the believers live in shame and don’t believe that a God could forgive what they have done. I have also asked Scott why we ask forgiveness and he said because we grieve the Holy Spirit, how can you grieve the Holy Spirit that knows the capability of our flesh. Its the life of Christ living in us that gives us what we need to be who we are in Him. Thats where our focus should be, In Christ, Jerry

We don’t believe because of pride. Jesus said that anything that is not of faith is Sin. we rather initiate to God, to respond to us, asking him, for what in Him we already have, what he had to die for to give us, it cost him his Life. When we initiate to God to respond to us, we make ourselves greater than God. He initiates and we respond, hopefully by Faith that pleases God, and we say thank you Father for taking it away. Are you walking by faith, or presumption?

Thank you sometimes I forget, a old hymn says, what can wash away my sins.. nothing but the BLOOD of JESUS. What can make me whole again nothing but the BLOOD of JESUS. Thank you being Lord of my Life Amen

I concurr with Russ. Once yielding to temptation and comitting a sin, I didn’t receive and believe God’s word about His grace and ability to forgive me and restore me, but rather believed the enemy, and was kept in bondage not forgiving myself or accepting forgiveness from others.

Why can’t we just believe Jesus when He says our sins are forgiven? Let’s start taking Jesus at His Word. Let’s be like the paralytic at Bethesda. Jesus told him to stand up pick up his mat and walk, and that’s what he did. Wjhen Jesus says something it HAPPENS

I can easily forgive. The hard part if forgetting. Jesus will forgive and forget. He is awesome!

If this were not true, We would all be lost. There is no one on Gods earth that is sinless, we all fall short. Jesus is our Savior, He took it all upon Himself.

These devotions have been such a blessing for me! This message is powerful and I’m using these short devotions with my son as well. I love that it’s short but powerful so in passing it on, someone can get a great message without a long read. God bless you for this, it’s a great way to be reminded of our Saviour at this time of the year! THANKS!

It is satan who wants to deceive us and led us to believe that our sins are so big that the sacrifice of Jesus was not big enough to take away all our sins. He wants us to hold onto our sins and to hide away from the presence of the Lord because of our guilt.

Thanks, everyone, for the insights. I thought it was a simple question (“what makes it hard for us to believe that Christ has taken away our sin?”) — your comments point out a wide range of reasons why this is so.

Marie Lucie – thank you for the honestly and simplicity of your plea. We sinners should indeed pray for each other.

I hold on to sin because fighting it is like a loosing battle; but fortunately, I remember that the battle is of the Lord. He never gave up on me so I am encouraged to keep trying Trusting Him only.

I hold on to sins when I know I’ve hurt someone.
