Sin bearer

He bore the sins of many and interceded for rebels. ~ Isaiah 53:12 (NLT)

For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ. ~ 2 Corinthians 5:21 (NLT)
God,

THANKS: Thank you for taking my sins to the cross. Thank you for making things right between you and me.

REGRETS: However, the reality is that even though Christ has freed me from sin I still make my way back to sin at times.

INTERCESSION: I pray again that you would keep me free from sin. And give me the courage to freely share the good news of Christ's offering. Don't let me be influenced by those who fail to take sin seriously.

PURPOSE: I'm not only going to live in confidence but I'm going to help others recognize what Christ has done and is doing.

Amen.
