Have you ever felt ineffective or unproductive in your Christian life?

I have.

It was like all my spiritual growth came to a screeching halt.

I didn't know the cause until I read these words from Peter's 2nd letter.

"But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins."

If you are not growing, it's because you have forgotten that your sins have been forgiven once and for all.

I know it sounds way too simple. But there is something powerful that happens when a person rests in the finished work of Christ.

So let me encourage you today to stop and remember.

Your sins have been forgiven.

You have been cleansed once and for all.

Never forget these truths. It's the key to growing in Christ.
