The Bible is like a magnifying glass that points out sins you otherwise wouldn’t see. Unlike sin, which deceives and lies to you, the Word shows you the true condition of your heart. Sin causes you to compare yourself to others and elevate yourself above them, as you’ll hear from Pastor Mark today. Nobody likes to see themselves as a sinner in need of help, but God has given the amazing gift of repentance. He’s always ready to forgive when your sin is exposed. The closer you get to God, the more you’ll become aware of your sin and want to daily confess it. Because a true life of freedom is found in forgiveness.
