Proverbs of a 38 yr old man
If we say we have not sinned, we are fooling ourselves, and the truth isn't in our hearts. Surely nobody can say, ‘My heart is innocent. My behavior is always right. My actions are never wrong.’ Only Jesus can truly say this. We cannot say this, however if we trust in God, then God forgives our evil actions. We are God’s children. We do not continue to do evil things. But if we do evil things, then we should tell the truth to God. We should confess our evil action to God. We should tell him about our errors. If we confess our sins to God, he can always be trusted to forgive us and take our sins away. Then God will forgive us, because of Jesus. He was sinless, and he offered himself as an eternal and spiritual sacrifice to God. This is why his blood is much more powerful and makes our consciences clear. Now we can serve the living God and no longer do things that lead to death. It is sinful man that is vile and corrupt, who drinks up injustice like water! Only fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good! Remember how the enemy has mocked You, O LORD, how a foolish people has spurned Your name. The LORD has rewarded me according to his righteousness; He has repaid me according to the cleanness of his hands. Anyone who continues to live in him will not sin. But anyone who keeps on sinning does not know him or understand who he is. This is how we can be sure that we have come to know him: if we continually keep his commandments. When we obey God, we are sure we know him.
