Upon believing, God promises to be your God, write His instructions upon your heart, put his new righteous laws in your mind, bemerciful toward you, and to no longer remember any of your sins or iniquities (Hebrews 8:10-12). In this way, sin will no longer have dominion over you. In fact, God will even remove evil desires from your heart—when you believe His promises!
After receiving Christ, if you do “miss the mark,” remain obedient to the faith by remembering God’s promise to be merciful. This opens the door for God to fulfill the other “I wills…” that He promises in Hebrews 8. God is now able to do for you what you have been unable to do for yourself: conquer the sin in your life! What powerful grace!
Grace, however, cannot be fully appreciated until you come to the end of your efforts. When you run out of things that you think you can do to save yourself, you become a prime candidate for grace. Now you must trust God. And He is faithful to rush in and bless as promised.
Continue to remember that your sins have been purged. Let no condemnation or guilt prevent you from being obedient to this faith. Right believing will lead you to right living, and this allows God to keep showing up in your life, working all things for your good. Believer, from now and until you leave this earth, let your consciousness be sealed in knowing that you are the righteousness of God.
