We all have at least once experienced the terrible taste of failure. Whether is a mean word we give to someone, a lie, lust, murderer, adultery, envy, it doesn't matter what, from the smalled to the most complex, we ALL HAVE SINNED AND WE ALL DO. That miserable feeling of failure takes over us and we try to look up but it seems like we are trapped in our own actions. We feel ridiculous.
The thing is, God knows it all. He knew those things and that's why He gave us The Second Chance. That's Jesus. All the sins that we fall for today, the ones we have fallen for in the past, and even the future ones, they have all been paid for with pure holy blood.
That doesn't mean we can get comfortable, actually it's the opposite way, we MUST live a life in a perpetual state of alert. We are not meant to be mastered by anything else other than The Holy Trinity.
To do that takes a lot of work, but trust me, it's worth it. It is so worth it to have the feeling of victory instead of the instant allure of sin and then the miserable feeling of failure. Because of Jesus we can say that nothing will hold us back, nothing has the power to trap us, nothing has the power to control us. We may fall, but our Lord continues to be the Holy Lamb of God. If Jesus doesn't condemn us, than no one can, neither the devil nor ourselves.
"Then Jesus came up and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me". Matthew 28:18
"The one who believes in Him is not condemned. The one who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God." John 3:18
