It is not
our desire to dwell on this problem of sin. There
are much happier things to talk about. However,
true joy and true happiness will never be ours until we
know deep down in our hearts that our sins have been
forgiven and that our relationship with our Lord has
been restored. The Bible talks about this kind of
assurance when it says, In Him (Jesus) and
through faith in Him we may approach God with freedom
and confidence. (Ephesians 3:12 NIV)
Yes, that
may sound proud, but the Bible leaves no room for pride:
For it is by grace you have been saved, through
faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of
God— not by works, so that no one can boast.
(Ephesians 2:8-9 NIV) But imagine the joy that
comes in knowing the forgiveness of sins! This is
only possible when we put our trust in Jesus' perfect
goodness (see
"Can my sins be forgiven?").
