What's Keeping You?

I have swept away your sins like a cloud. I have scattered your offenses like the morning mist. Oh, return to me, for I have paid the price to set you free. - Isaiah 44:22 (NLT)

As I came across this verse in today's One Year Bible reading plan, I got a better picture of how much God paid for us by having Jesus die on the cross for our sins. God,..."wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth." 1 Tim 2:4 (NLT) So logically He paid a price that would be enough to cover all the sins of all the world through all ages of time. That's a HUGE price! The enemy likes for us to think that our sin is too great for us to ever come back to God. But when you think about this, how could your sin ever be to great for what Christ did on the cross? It is a slap in the face to God saying that He didn't pay enough.

So then we can simply come to God in repentance, which is refocusing our eyes back on Jesus and allowing Him to change us, and know that we are made righteous. It is only through Christ that we have right standing with God in heaven. So what is keeping us from God? Maybe it's because we think we messed up too much in our lives. If that's the reason, then know that it's a lie from the enemy. You have nothing holding you back from God.
