MORE THAN FORGIVEN SINNERS

Micah J. Sturm

We are all guilty.

Everyone needs forgiveness.

This is not debatable. Only one Human ever lived without sin—and it was not you or me!

The problem with the Church is that we’ve become way too comfortable with sin.

What we ought to abhor, we accept.

Behaviors we should stop, we celebrate

Things that need to be eliminated, we excuse.

“Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.”

1 John 3:8 ESV

Will Jesus forgive the sins we commit? Absolutely!

Can Jesus really “destroy” sin? Yes!

Christ came to erase our sins by forgiveness.

But He can make us more than forgiven sinners—He came to destroy sin’s grip on our hearts and lives!

Jesus, who is holiness housed in humanity, will house His holiness in humans!

He enables us to love what He loves, see how He sees, and live the way He wants us to live!

They’re miracles of grace—sins erased and Spirit-enabled!

Thanks be to God!
