Assurance of Salvation Test #2: Are you Aware Of and Sensitive To your sin?

The Bible is clear, a Christian does not live without sin, so God calls to live a life of ongoing sensitivity to sin. God wants you to know your sin and hate your sin, so that it propels you to personal, heart-wrenching confession of that sin to God. When that happens God is not waiting to respond to you with shame, defeat, guilt, despair or misery. He stands ready to do a complete gracious cleansing work through the life and work of Jesus Christ. Repentance and confession of sin are part of a normal, ongoing disciplined Christian life. The proper attitude of the Christian toward sin is not to deny that you have a sin problem. Instead, realize the ongoing reality of your sin and then be quick to confess it to God who is “faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness.” God cleanses your heart, mind and life. There is not one unrighteous thing you can do that He cannot cleanse. When you live in this truth, God will not bring up your sins again. You are completely cleansed of those sins through the work of Jesus Christ. Confess your sins and enjoying the cleansing truth in Jesus Christ.
