In the troubled world in which we live we see many experts on our screens who give their views or opinions about how to make the world a better place.
Permit me to give two thoughts as to why the world is in such a state. Firstly, we need to understand that all of us do wrong things in our lives. I am not thinking of terrible crimes like murder or child abuse. Instead, those things that we might do everyday of our lives which are wrong such as drinking to much, taking drugs, breaking the civil law, or being angry at someone, being selfish and unloving to those we say we love. We are all guilt, but what can we do about it?
So, secondly, we must understand we are in the wrong. We need to say sorry, the Bible calls this repentance, but who do we say sorry to?
The one who we have wronged of course. More importantly we have to say sorry to God, because it is God Himself that we have wronged ultimately.
God has promised to forgive us, but only if we really believe in Him and in His son Jesus who died on the cross for us, by paying for all the wrongs we have done, we must also tell God that we have done these bad things against Him.
This is God’s promise to us from the Bible. [1. John 1 verse 9].
“If we confess our sins [our wrong things], He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse from all unrighteousness.”
