Romans 3:23 says that “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” 

We all know there’s a way we should act, and we all know we don’t always act that way. So when you fall short here are three things you should do.

1. Admit you’ve fallen short

1 John 1:8 says that “if we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.” Nothing good comes from lying to yourself. So the first step towards moving forward is admitting that you’ve sinned.

2. Ask Jesus to forgive you

1 John 1:9 promises that “if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” And Romans 3:24 tells us that “All are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”

Your sin may be great but Jesus is greater. Ask him to forgive you and set you free and he will.

3. Change your wrong behavior 

In John 8:11 Jesus said, “Go now and leave your life of sin.” Jesus offers a better way.  He makes all things new. Leave behind the sins of the past and follow Jesus to a life of freedom of joy. 

Let me pray for you:

Father,

We give you our sin and you give us your grace. Thank you for making a way through Jesus. 

We love you and praise you, amen.
