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)
Just as there are people who are insured and many who are likewise, uninsured, there are those who live with“ assurance.” Those who have assurance understand that when we sin, we have coverage called“ blessed assurance” and in knowing exactly what to do.
Those with blessed assurance are to call upon our Heavenly Assurance Agent- Yeshua the Messiah. His heavenly connection is never busy and is always accessible, and when he answers our call, we know that if we confess our sins, that we will receive full coverage for the sins we have committed.
The unfortunate reality is that most people believe the lie that they can live without“ assurance,” much like those without car insurance. Spiritually, this means the“ unassured.” The unassured do not desire Yeshua’ s“ light” coverage which exposes all the sinfulness from the inside out. Since this“ light” coverage comes with a high cost, many claim they don’ t need it.
But there are two sides to the story … In I John we therefore see,
“ If we claim not to have sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us. Likewise, if we claim we have not been sinning and that our deeds have been above reproach, we are making God out to be a liar, and his Word is not in us.”
Neither one of these claims are covered, in fact they are mere excuses for not letting God judge our inmost heart, in accordance with his Word.
So, if we sin as those“ assured” how are we to respond to those who sin against us?
