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!

What Do You Do With Your Sins?

The question can be asked, what do you do with known sin?  Do you let it go by you with no repentance?  Or do you repent of your sins before God?  God must give us a new heart to repent of our sins.  If we repent and believe, it is evidence that He has given us a new heart.  I started to repent consistently of my sins in January 2005 when I gained assurance of salvation.  I was overjoyed with happiness and joy.  I told my mom about it and that was when I started to bear witness of Jesus before the sons and daughters of Adam.  I think all of us have sinned.  All of us have done wrong.  Somewhere along the lines we lusted, committed adultery, lied, fornicated or cheated.  Wherever our sins are, we must surrender to God and repent.  Here are some Scripture verses that teach faithful repentance: 

Acts 5:31 KJV
Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
Acts 8:22 KJV
Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
