God Understands???

The cliche that God Understands Our Sins attracts a lot of doubt in truth whether God really understands why we sinned!

This statement is, evidently and inevitably directed at believers.

Assuming our heavenly Father understands the constant temptation by the Evil one to seduce us to sin, my question is whether we should succumbed to temptation and sin when God has gifted us the power of the Holy Spirit as our Guardian?

I found that Christians, who constantly does wrong, find comfort sheltering behind this cliche which is a blatant lie that God understand. But the momentous question in reality is whether God truly understand when we repeatedly sin against Him?

My friend, Bush, who is obsessed with pornography, retorted that God understood his sexual compulsions. But in the Book of Romans 6:1-2, it define otherwise, Well then, should we keep on doing wrong so that God can demonstrate more and more of His wonderful grace? Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it?

The honest truth is God could never, never understand why we continuously repeat our sins. After all He has provided us an escape route when we are confronted by temptations. Thank God for establishing a get away in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour! When we are tempted to do wrong, we essentially muster all our strength to cry to our Saviour Jesus, who will shield us, by equipping us with His strength to run and hide in Him.

Sometime ago, at a dinner gathering, I overheard this conversation between a couple of ladies, presumably "Christians": "Oh! Once we are Christians, worry no more for our sins will undergo automatic cleansing by the blood of our Saviour, shed on the cross for us?" Huh!

"But we are imperfect" defended the constant sinner.

I believed that God truly understand about the Devil's persistent in attacking us to do wrong and enrage our heavenly Father in Christ Jesus. And the solution God has given us is learning to cry out to Him in Jesus' Name so that He could provide us with His strength to run away from doing wrong. The solution is not repeatedly doing wrong and provide comfort assuring ourselves that God will understands and forgive us. And even if God is merciful towards our wrong-doing, let us remind ourselves that we must refrained from repetitions of our sins.

Yes, if the Devil continue hurling us with temptations, we'll keep on running until the Devil is exhausted and gave up attacking us. That's how we claimed Christ's victory for us!

Those who proclaimed Jesus Christ the Saviour, the son of the Living God is never safe from temptation until we are back home at the bosom of our Loving heavenly Father.

Meanwhile, together with the Holy Spirit gifted you, be watchful over every step and every breath you take. Temptation will never abandon the Devil's objective, knocking on the door of your spiritual life every second, seducing you to do wrong!

However, don't fret for our Saviour is alive in us to provide Himself as our hiding place.

May our Saviour Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit constantly watch and guard you because you are a son of the Living God of Israel.
