The assurance of His total forgiveness of our sins through the blood of Christ means we don't have to play defensive games anymore. We don't have to rationalize and excuse our sins. We can call sin exactly what it is, regardless of how ugly and shameful it may be, because we know that Jesus bore that sin in His body on the cross.

No detail of your life is too insignificant for your heavenly Father's attention.

Preach the gospel to yourself every day.

True joy comes only from God and He shares this joy with those who walk in fellowship with Him.

A son or daughter in any human family is either born to or adopted by the parents. By definition, a child can't be both. But with God we're both born of Him and adopted by Him.

Worship from the heart in times of adversity implies an attitude of humble acceptance on our part of God's right to do as He pleases in our lives.

We need to call sin what the Bible calls it and not soften it with modern expressions borrowed from our culture.
