Proverbs 16:6 (KJV) By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.
We can’t cancel our sins out with our works. Only the mercy of Jesus can do that. And in faithfulness to His own sacrifice and His own promise, Jesus cleanses us from our sin. Our right response is reverence, as we consider the power of Jesus’ work. For it is this reverence that encourages us to turn from evil and remain faithful to God.
Father, thank You for erasing my sin by Your mercy. Thank You for Your faithfulness to me. Lord, as I meditate on the cleansing power of Your blood, it draws me nearer to You. I long to follow Your ways. Teach me, Lord to turn from evil and increase my faithfulness. In Jesus’ name, amen.
