44 Nothing is so difficult to get rid of!
"Deliver me from all my transgressions!"Psalms 39:8
Nothing is so
No one can remove it—but God!
Committed in one moment—its effects may remain through all eternity!
Deliverance from it—is the greatest blessing!
But before deliverance—there must be conviction, contrition, prayer, and faith.
We must feel that sin is an evil and bitter thing.
We must be truly sorry for our sin.
We must cry unto God in earnest prayer.
We must believe that only Lord Jesus Christ’s sacrifice can atone for it.
If God delivers us—He will do it gratuitously—for He saves by grace alone.
If God delivers us—He will do it effectually—for "as far as the east is from the west—so far will He remove our transgressions from us!"
If God delivers us—He will do it eternally—for we "shall be saved with an everlasting salvation."
"Deliver me from all my transgressions!"
My friend, is this your morning prayer?
Is sin your burden?
Are you weary of it?
Do you long to get rid of it?
Carry it to God’s throne, confess it there, plead the blood of Jesus to have it removed—and you shall be saved!
