“Undoing Our Doing-Jack Blake”
Categories: Forgiveness, Mercy, RepentanceGreetings Friends, and Brethren,
Have you said or done things in life that afterwards you wish you could turn back time and undo them? Probably all of us have said or done things that have hurt others, especially someone we love. I know I have, and would like to go back and have a conversation again or somehow be able to erase the wrong I done to someone. I wonder if David wished he could change his past when Nathan confronted him with adultery with Bathsheba. Then there was Peter when he denied Christ three times and Jesus looked on him. I'm pretty sure He would have liked to retrieve his words.
Well, like them ,we cannot turn back the pages of time and undo our doings. But if we repent of our wrongs as David and Peter did, our God, who is a God of new beginnings can and will. Paul in 2 Corinthians 5.17 told the Corinthian church, and us, "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold all things have become new." and in Galatians 6.15 the Spirit led him write, "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation." So, friends if you seriously want to undo your past doings, you must in faithful obedience repent of them. "For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death." To have your sins washed away by the blood of Jesus, you must believe, repent, confess and be baptized, buried with Christ into His death and resurrected to walk in newness of life - Romans 6. Jesus said in Revelation 22. 16-17, "I, Jesus have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the of the Offspring of David, the bright and morning star." And the Spirit and the bride say come! And let him who hears say, come! And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.
Are you ready?
