Matthew 6:12 Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
As issues arise in our Christian walk we are called to regular patterns of confession, repentance, and receiving forgiveness. These moments provide us with fresh opportunities to embrace the grace and love of Jesus as we take hold of the forgiveness and cleansing He already purchased at Calvary. In moments of repentance we also allow our minds to be renewed and for our thinking to align with His thinking. Lies are overcome with truth, hurts are healed and unhealthy patterns are replaced with redeemed thinking.
James 5:16 Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Romans 12:1-2 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
