Hope For Those in Sin Jeremiah 29-30

Basically everyone knows about repentance. Repentance is a common promise throughout the new and old testament. Christ ultimate sacrifice was dying for our sins, paying for our mistakes and paving the way for us to return to the Lord. We all know there is a way out but in the depths of guilt it is easy to forget.

It is hard to forgive ourselves, and it is difficult to ask the Lord for forgiveness when we are so ashamed of our actions. The first thing to remember is that the Lord already knows our mistakes and loves us in spight of them. In Jeremiah 29 the Lord promises that he will carry us from captivity (of sin) and back to where we were before we were driven away by the Lord because of our wickedness. When we sin we cannot be in his presence (spiritually and physically) and as a result we feel deep sorry and confusion.

All we have to do is change our ways and search for him. He will find us and he will save us.

We live in an imperfect world. Our world must be managed by the rulers of man in order to keep order and peace. As we all know men can only rule men so well, especially when men cannot seem to rule themselves. Because of our own imperfections mortal rulers are necessary to rule mortal affairs.

Our true King is Jesus Christ who will stand for truth for eternity. When we fall into sin, or we are tempted to go down the road of the world we must remember that Jesus Christ is the one we will ultimately have to face. He has shown us the path and only he can deliver us from death. We may think our mistakes are too big, we may feel the temptations of the world are too great but they are temporary. Christ will rule in benevolence forever and has already saved us from our sins if we will just follow him.
