Day 5 Pure Heart and Clear Conscience Acts
1 John 1:9 (NKJV) Pure Heart
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
a. Do I keep short sins accounts with God by confessing and forsaking all known sins as he convicts?
I am more aware of the sins that I have done in the past and know them for what they are-sins. However, my day to day living is rough. My biggest issues are my mouth and my thoughts. I might stub my toe and let out a slew of curse words. Since I started this Bible Study I am catching myself and am recognizing that I am sinning and ask God for forgiveness.
I am going to write down the Sinner's Prayer and leave it where I can see it and pray that prayer everyday.
I found this online:
Father, it is written in your
word that if I confess with
my mouth that Jesus is Lord
and believe in my heart that
You have raised Him from
the dead, I shall be saved.
Therefore, Father, I confess
that Jesus is my Lord/ I make
Him Lord of my life right
now. I believe in my heart
that you raised Jesus in my heart
that you raised Jesus from
the dead. I renounce my
past life with Satan and
close the door to any of his
devices.
I thank you for forgiving me
of all my sins. Jesus is my
Lord, and I am a new c
creation. Old things have
passed away; now all things
become new in Jesus' name.
Amen
b. Am I willing to give up all sin for God?
Yes. I pray as I come across temptations and obstacles that God will give me a kick to remind me of my commitment.
c. Do I love and dwell on things that are true, pure and good?
Yes. But I also dwell on past hurts and I need to work on that.
6. Acts 24:16 (NKJV) Clear Conscious
This being so, I myself always strive to have a conscious without offense toward God and men.
a. Do I seek forgiveness from those I wrong or offend?
I try not to offend people.I know what it is like to be hurt by others. I was bullied many times when I was in elementary school and did not like it. Still, this leads to question b. "Can I honestly say, there is no one I have ever wronged or offended in any way and not gone back to that person and sought his or her forgiveness and made it right?"
The answer is no. When I was bullied, I turned around and bullied kids smaller and younger than me. If I could change that I would. Moving forward I will strive to not to hurt or offend anyone. And if I do, I will seek their forgiveness.
