Psalm 51 [Give & Take]


Psalm 51:4-6
“You're the One I've violated, and you've seen it all, seen the full extent of my evil. 
You have all the facts before you; whatever you decide about me is fair.
I've been out of step with you for a long time; in the wrong since before I was born. 
What you're after is truth from the inside out. Enter me, then; conceive a new, true life.”

When we sin, people get hurt. Relationships are harmed, trust is broken, and someone ends up worse off. However, sin is ultimately against God. All sin is a direct defiance of our Creator and King. He’s the most important one that you need to be right with.

And the scary, yet refreshing truth is that God knows everything (Psalm 139). He has seen your every thought, every message sent, every movie watched, every lie told from the day you were born. Before you speak or act, Jesus knows. When you feel like you don’t even know yourself, Jesus knows. He knows your heart and your motives. Jesus knows! 

But he wants you to be honest with him. So get it all out, give it all over to Jesus. Get all that rubbish out of your heart and mind, and it’ll leave space for Jesus’ new, true life to live in you. Fill every single space in your heart with Jesus. Leave no room for that garbage to come back again!

Give Jesus your sin, and take on his righteousness.
Give Jesus your filth and impurity, and take on his perfect purity.
Give Jesus your death, and live in his new, true life.
Give Jesus everything you are, and become everything he is.
