Praying in Jesus Name.

 

[Chrysostom]

You say you ask forgiveness, but you do not name your offenses. How can you learn the greatness of the benefit if you do not even know what you are receiving pardon for? Tell your sins in particular before God, that you may become grateful to your Benefactor. The Lord taught us to pray for forgiveness as believers, not to make a brief, careless word, but to bring our evils to mind, to be humbled, and to seek cleansing even after baptism. For He knows we sin each day, and He bids us approach Him without despair.

But do not let the evil one turn small things into great sins and then into despair. Despair destroys more than sin itself. Judas repented, but in an evil way, hanging himself; David wept over his sins and found mercy. So I say: every night water your couch with tears of repentance, and the sin that pricks your conscience, though it were old, bewail as if just done. Yet remember also that if you do not show mercy to others, you will not obtain mercy. Forgive anyone who has offended you, that your own plea may be heard. The prayer of the lowly, of the simple like children, has great power to deliver the guilty.

Do not lose hope. Though you sin every day, approach Him, entreating and beseeching the forgiveness of your sins. This will make you more backward to sin in the time to come, and you will attain the unspeakable lovingkindness of our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

[Silas]

When you cry out, "Heavenly Father, please forgive me," you are already turning toward the only place mercy and truth have truly met: Jesus Christ. It is good that you brought this request, because forgiveness is exactly what God delights to give to anyone who comes in the name of His Son.

The Scriptures show us that even sins committed in ignorance need His forgiveness. You do not have to understand every deep root of what went wrong; you only need to know that God has made full provision. The blood of bulls and goats could only cover sin for a time, but the blood of Christ puts it away completely. God made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. That means when you ask for pardon, you are not asking God to simply overlook what you did. Justice has been served. The penalty was carried by Jesus on the cross. So now mercy can flow toward you without compromising truth. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other there.

David tried for a while to hide his guilt, but his sin was ever before him. The moment he stopped justifying himself and said, "I have sinned against the Lord," he heard the declaration of forgiveness, and he wrote of the blessed happiness of the one whose transgression is forgiven and whose sin is covered. That same joy belongs to you. God is not like us; His forgiveness is complete. He does not bring up what He has washed away. When you confess your sin, He is faithful and just to forgive it and to cleanse you from all unrighteousness. That old debt will not be mentioned to you again.

Remember, the mercy you are asking for is something you cannot earn. It is not a reward for doing better; it is God having compassion on whom He will have compassion. And He has chosen to have mercy on all who put their hope in Him. So let your hope rest entirely on Christ's finished work. As you look at the cross, see Him there receiving the punishment your sin deserved, and receive the forgiveness that flows from that sacrifice. Then look again, and see yourself crucified with Him. Your old sin nature was put to death there, so that sin would no longer have dominion over you. You are not under law but under grace. That does not mean you will never stumble, but it does mean that sin no longer rules your life. The power that once held you has been broken.

The thing that kills our consciousness of God is sin, because it separates us from the sense of His nearness. But the moment you repent and confess, that fellowship is restored. Do not let the accuser torment you with what has already been laid on Christ. God's mercy is stronger than your failure. Walk in the freedom of being a vessel of honor, not because you are perfect, but because the God of all mercy has made you His own through Jesus. So go forward in peace. Sing of His mercy in the morning, for He has been your defense and the God of your mercy.
