As time comes
You must be freed from the stains of the world. You need to overcome your weaknesses and not to look back to your sinful nature. You must be freed from bondage and not be ashamed of the gospel as this is the power of God for salvation to everyone that believe, to the Jews first and also to the Greek (Romans 1:16-NAS).
We must not be ashamed to rise up again and again as all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23-New American Standard). God loves us, and he raises us up in the times that we fall. He demonstrates His own love toward us, and that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8).
Though the wages of sin is death, the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 7:23). With God, you can walk at a new light and overcome your offenses. You are purified of the mud you once have, and you can be cleansed. With this, we must repent of our sins and avoid falling to it again.
Thus, if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved; for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation, for whoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved (Romans 10:9-10,13).
That’s why we must confess, repent, believe, and call. We must remember that once we were at that time separated from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. And now you are brought near because of the blood of Christ (Ephesians 2:12-13).
It is because you have been saved by grace through faith, and not of your selves, for it is the gift of God (Ephesians 2:8). God works well for your salvation and that he forgives should you just ask for pardon and be sorry of your sins. He will make you beautiful in your scars, and these shall be blotted out in time.
Worthy you are to be forgiven as you have been baptized in his name and desires to be always wet with the Holy Ghost. The Lord is generous enough and readily yields to the plea of his people. If he is asked for an egg, he will not give them a scorpion, will he? The Father also gives the Holy Spirit to those who ask of Him (Luke 11:12-13).
Be dressed therefore in readiness, and keep your lamps alight (Luke 12:35). Do not be like the foolish virgins who forgot to store extra oil such that the door was closed to them and there were not allowed to enter, with the Master saying, “I knew you not.” Such will also happened to those who had not be aware of the caughting up.
We must be ready, as we do not know when will the hour come. In his hour, he reclines at the table, and the apostles were with him. He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer (Luke 22:14-15).” We should also be aware of our hour. When the time has come, we shall face what is meant for us.
