May 6
Were we left to our own devices, our plight would be hopeless, for we sin again and again. The evil one continues to set his traps and we continue to stumble into them. Our proclivity to sin is relentless and our inability to overcome our own particular foible testifies to the stranglehold the world has on us.
Yet we know we are blood-bathed, forgiven, redeemed and on our way to Heaven! We know the Lord is coming for His Bride and that she—the Church, believers—will be without spot or wrinkle. We cannot but praise Him for His faithfulness in helping us overcome and be cleansed from our sin.
We understand that our deliverance is not our doing, it is His! We recognize that if we were left to our own, the pit of our sin would swallow us. The mire of our failures would render us beyond redemption, for our faithlessness, our willfulness, our penchant for iniquity would be beyond cleansing.
But Revelation 19:7 assures us that we may, “…be glad, rejoice, and give Him glory because the marriage of the Lamb has come and His wife has prepared herself.” The Church, believers will be prepared, for He cleanses us again and again—and He does not count our iniquity against us.
