Why this story? Because it’ s possible you have been in a similar situation since most of us have been involved in a car accident. Yet more importantly, this is a powerful reminder that everyone makes mistakes in this life in one way or another.
“ Since all have sinned and come short of earning God’ s praise.”( Rom. 3:23)
Our heavenly coverage leads us to knowing that,
“ If we acknowledge our sins, then, since he is trustworthy and just, he will forgive them and purify us from all wrongdoing.”( 1 John 1:9)
