"There is not a sin in the Book of God, even now, against one of His people. Who dares to lay anything to their charge? There is neither speck, nor sport, not wrinkle, not any such thing remaining upon any one believer in the matter of justification in the sight of the Judge of all the earth."
 
C.H. Spurgeon
 
 
A SLICE OF FRESH BREAD
 
I hear more and more about “cold case” police work. Crimes committed 20, 30 and even 40 years ago are being solved. Guilt is a funny thing; we can run and hide but it never goes away. Only forgiveness will rescue us from the reality of our pasts.
 
Each of us has a cold-case file, a history that includes things we wish we had not done. But Christ’s death on the cross closed the file for those of us who accept His gracious forgiveness.
 
David knew a good bit about a guilty past, and he learned even more about forgiveness. He wrote, “Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. . . Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” (Psalm 51:7 and 10)
 
For David, confessing his sin and asking for forgiveness was the start. A pure heart and steadfast spirit was the goal.
 
Unlike the long-pursued criminals who face prison time for their wrongdoings, Jesus provides freedom for those who accept His gracious gift. Don’t hide – accept God’s forgiveness that cleans our past and creates a pure heart going forward.
