"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."
2 Corinthians 5:17
When you get down on yourself when you feel as though you failed God, the best thing to do is get back up. The Bible tells us that David knew how to recover from failure. Then David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the LORD." Nathan replied, "The LORD has taken away your sin. You are not going to die."
(2 Samuel 12:13) He knew the power of forgiveness. We are cleansed and renewed by God when we repent of our unrighteousness. When God says it is done, it is done. Trust God to fully recover from sin without condemnation. There is no need to wallow and dwell in it. Of course we feel sorrowful when we sin, but we must rejoice in knowing we are forgiven. Believe in what the Word says enough to have confidence in it. When you don't you are placing your own authority above His. Live in His freedom today and everyday.
