Pay Attention To The Plank In Your Own Eye

We are all sinners and have committed transgressions against the Lord. No matter what our sins may be, large or small, there is equal justice according to each one of our iniquities. When we realize that Christ died for all our sins, it humbles us. So the next time we get the urge to judge someone, we should remember, we’re all guilty of falling short of the glory of God. The only redemption we have is faith in our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Matthew 7:1-5—“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye. (NIV)

Jesus’ Forgiveness Is More Powerful Than Your Sin

Be confident in this, that once you are a child of the Lord Jesus Christ, you always will be. When you come to the Lord with a sincere heart, full of repentance, your sins are forgiven. How great is His love for us! We are truly blessed to be a part of His family.

Romans 4:7-8: Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. (KJV)

The Blessing of Life

As sons and daughters of the living God, we understand the value of human life. We are created in the image of our Father in heaven. We were personally molded and crafted by our Lord with a unique soul. It is a gift and a blessing that has been bestowed upon us. The Father knew our souls before we were formed inside of our mother’s womb.

Jeremiah 1:5: Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. (KJV)

Pray For Our Leaders

As Christians, our prayers have an influence on the course of our country and its leadership. When we pray for those in authority, the Father takes it into account. The Lord listens to His people when they pray for godly men and women to govern the affairs of their country.

1 Timothy 2:1-3: I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; (KJV)

Look Towards The Prize

As Christians, we can sometimes get burdened by our sins of the past. Pondering on our old transgressions only inhibits God’s plans for our future. Jesus’ sacrifice breaks the bondage of our sin allowing us to start anew. Through Jesus, we are able to complete God’s heavenly purpose for our lives.

The Apostle Paul reminds us of this in Philippians 3:13-14.

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (KJV)
