The first step to becoming fully aware of exactly what Jesus Christ has done for you is admitting your need for Him. We walk through life like we have it all together. We act like we don't sin, we're all puffed up and proud and don't make mistakes. In reality Christ is looking for people who don't live in sin, but are willing to admit it when they do fall. People who realize how much and how badly they truly do need Him.
We don't share this idea though. We keep our mistakes and our shortcomings bottled up and don't ever take them out. We have a closet full of skelatons when we should have a life full of admitted failures. You should share your mistakes and your stumbles with others, that too will help you realize your need for a savior.
1 John 1:9-10 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives."
There you have it, every time we act like we are perfect, we are making God out to be a liar. God sent His Son to die for our sins and conquer both sin and death all in one trip. He didn't send His Son because some people sin and some don't. He sent His Son for the most common of man, the sinner. We all sin, we should all readily admit it to anyone who thinks otherwise so that we can fully experience God's grace and mercy. Without sin, there is no need for God. Without sin, God sent His Son for no reason and I am fully assured that saving us from sin was part of God's original plan and the most important piece of this puzzle is admitting you need that forgiveness.
So admit your wrongs, accept God's grace and do so publicly.
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
