Fw: GREAT LEADERS HAVE GRACE!

Team:

When we sin does God find us out or does our Sin find us out?

"But if you fail to do this, you will be sinning against the LORD; and you may be sure that your sin will find you out."
Numbers 32:20-23

Today in the One Year Playbook we get clarification of God's Faithfulness.

GREAT LEADERS HAVE GRACE!

A lot of times we think God is out to get us after we sin. We think that God is a fault finder.

God is not a Fault Finder. God Loves to Forgive when we ask.

Jon Courson say's, "God doesn't say Aha! I'm going to expose that sin and embarrass you. That is not the nature of the Father. No it is sin itself that will come to fruition."

"Every time I sin, that sin will sooner or later track me down, find me out, and humiliate me. But it's not God doing this. Rather, it's the work of the Enemy to not only seduce us into sin, but to expose and humiliate us through it."

God loves us and wants the best for us. When we allow the Enemy to Condemn us we are falling into his trap. First he causes us to do the sin then he beats us up after we have done it. Then we are trapped in a sticky web with no escape.

Here is a great verse to think about the next time we think God is condemning us.

"Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness."
Lamentations 3:22

Our own sin will find us out and the enemy will try to destroy us. When we call on God He will Find us, Rescue us and have Compassion on us if we humble ourselves and ask Him to do so.

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9

GREAT LEADERS HAVE GRACE!

However if we ignore the Lord, sin will destroy us. Now is that God's fault? We shouldn't blame it on God. It is the sin that found us out.

The Good News is the Lord is trying to Rescue us from ourselves.

God's Grace is "Getting something we don't deserve.". Jesus will forgive us and give us a New Beginning If we turn 180 degrees and follow Him.

Jesus said that He came to seek and save those that are lost. When we are found out by our sin and trapped by the Enemy He will seek us, find us and save us if we are willing to let Him save us.

GREAT LEADERS HAVE GRACE!
