JESUS PAID IT ALL!

1 John 1:9 – Devotional

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.”

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

As we continue toward Easter and Jesus Christ’s atoning death on the cross, we are reminded of the much beloved hymn that many of us sang years gone by, Jesus Paid It All.

Elvina M. Hall penned the words and here they are for us to contemplate today:

I hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small,
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all.”

Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.

Lord, now indeed I find
Thy pow’r and Thine alone,
Can change the leper’s spots
And melt the heart of stone.

Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.

For nothing good have I
Where-by Thy grace to claim;
I’ll wash my garments white
In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb.

Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.

And when, before the throne,
I stand in Him complete,
“Jesus died my soul to save,”
My lips shall still repeat.

Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.

OH LOVE THAT WILL NOT LET ME GO!

1 John 3:1​ – Devotional

1 John 3:1

“See what great love the Father has lavished on us,
that we should be called children of God!
And that is what we are!”

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Read through these lyrics by George Matheson in the beautiful beloved hymn, Oh Love That Will Not Let Me Go.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.

O light that foll’west all my way,
I yield my flick’ring torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.

O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain,
That morn shall tearless be.

O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.

JUST CONFESS!

1 John 1:9 – Devotional

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.

I often recall my days working as a County Juvenile Probation Officer. One of the judges I worked for was a wise old veteran of the early frontier days in a gold mining town.

He taught me to listen carefully to what people were saying and never believe that they always would tell the truth. In fact people generally will tell a lie even when it would be easier on them to tell the truth. That is part of our fallen nature.

As believers we often are tempted to disguise our sinful actions as slips, accidents or errors in judgment. Regardless of what we call our deviation from God’s perfect standard – – it is sin and we must confess our sin to get the victory.

I can recall times in my life when I tried to color my sin as being something else. I was always miserable until I confessed to God and then to those I had wronged. It was then I felt God’s peace that passes understanding and come to understand that God knows my heart better than I do and my sin is evident regardless of my denial. He wants us to JUST CONFESS AND LET HIM CLEANSE US!

THE CRITICAL TEST!

1 John 1:5-7 – Devotional

1 John 1:5-7

“This is the message we have heard from Him and declare unto you: God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.”
