The Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost. It is Jesus' favorite title of Himself. I chosen this title because Jesus loved this title of Himself. We ought to never forget that Jesus is fully God and fully man: two natures in One Person. He is the God-man, the Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity. May we mediate on His life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension that we may be conformed to the image of the divine Son of Man! This blog web site will be a Christian defense of the Reformed doctrines of the Incarnate Son of Man. May all glory be to His name!

Coming to God After Every Sin

     We ought to come to God after every sin, because this is the process of sanctification.  We should keep short accounts with Him when we sin and confess our sins to Him.  If we confess our sins to Him, we will be forgiven.  He always forgives sins that are asked with a contrite spirit.  We ought to understand that are sins are offenses against Him and His holiness.  We should thank Him for who He is and what He has done.  To many do not praise Him for who He is, but we ought to remember that He is holy.  We can only be holy but by the work of the Holy Spirit.  If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins (1 John 1:9).  No sin is so great as to deserve damnation for the one who repents.  We ought not to be immersed in sin but repent.  It does not matter if we sin often as long as we repent and the Lord will not cast us off.  We ought to acknowledge our sins before Him and leave it at the Cross (Psalm 32).  No sin that we miss remains unforgiven but all sin is forgiven once we confess it in a right spirit before Him.  This is a awesome and great encouragement to us in the beloved.  Jesus says to come to Him, and if indeed we come we will surely not be cast out.  No sinner coming to Jesus is cast out but all receive forgiveness of their sins.  What a glorious gospel message!  Amen and amen.
