Fear of the Lord
10:14 AMFor if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
Hebrews 10:26 NKJV
Once we have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior and still commit sins intentionally, there will be no sacrifices to be made for your salvation anymore.
This is a reminder that when we have received Jesus, our sins were forgiven and our past mistakes were forgotten. It was because of the sacrifice Jesus made to save us from our sins. But since we know of these things we ought not to commit sins anymore for we know the truth and we must obey.
Powerful verse it is. I felt the fear of Lord again and was reminded of the truth. It was a great struggle to change and stop committing sins because I was so used to doing them. But because of the truth and the journey of becoming mature in Spirit, the Lord helps me to discern what is right and wrong through the Holy Spirit. And by this, I was able to resist most of the enemy attacks.
Upto now I'm having difficulties in resisting attacks like laziness to seek God and do what I have to do, giving time to social media and games than giving more time to pray and communicate with God, and thinking of fleshly desires of lust and plots of anger towards other people. I know in my heart God is not pleased with me still fighting these things but I try my best not to dwell in them and stop myself whenever I encounter them. I should be strong and be firm in my faith, guarding my heart in all kinds of situations. Because I made a decision to receive and accept Jesus, whatever sins I do today will no longer be taken away by any sacrifices. I will instill in my heart and mind this powerful fear I only have for the Lord.
