All Have Fallen Short

“You have forgiven and taken away the iniquity of your people, You have covered all their sins….”. All of our wrong doings (sins) have been forgiven and taken away. Once you’ve repented for messing up, and you ask God’s forgiveness, and you meant it, you are forgiven. We must know this truth for ourselves so once we’ve asked God for forgiveness the devil can’t harass us into condemnation over our mistake. We walk by faith not by sight in our dealings with the Lord. It’s a lifestyle of faith that positions us into a posture of always receiving from God. We have all fallen short of the righteousness of God, without God. Our self righteousness doesn’t get us to heaven but the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus will. You’re in Christ once you’ve become a born again Christian, at that point you have been sanctified and put in right standing with God. You are a king in your own right once you’ve become a part of God’s family. We are kings of whom Jesus is King of, we are lords of whom Jesus is Lord of and over. There’s now no condemnation for those in Christ walking according to the Spirit and not the flesh (if your emotions rule you, condemnation will be close by). If you don’t have a peaceful feeling when you think about what might be wrong in your life, there could be room for repentance, if you desire God’s unlimited blessings.
