I John 3:20-21
For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God.
Every time we sin, our heart condemns us, our conscience makes us feel guilty. We don't feel at ease. Many a times, to calm out hearts we try many things, just like Adam and Eve to calm their hearts made fig leaves suit but it was of no use. Jesus is greater than our hearts. His blood, His works is greater than our hearts.
Sin attacks our confidence before God. Every time we sin, we don't feel like praying or reading the Bible. We don't feel like going to church. We are afraid to preach the Gospel, to lay hands on the sick and to cast out devils. The verse says God is greater than our hearts and knows all things. God is greater than our feelings, greater than our conscience. When you make a mistake, you feel like running away from Jesus and that's exactly what Satan would want you to do. Don't be deceived, when you make a mistake, run to Jesus for He is greater than your sins, greater than your mistakes, greater than your feelings and your conscience. As you run to Him, confess your sins to Him and He will restore your soul and you will again develop confidence in the presence of God, Satan and the world.
Friend, every time you sin, your confidence is attacked, your courage is attacked and your boldness is attacked. Don't let condemnation keep you down. Don't let your feelings keep you away from God, run to Jesus for He is our Advocate with the Father and He is the payment for our sins and for the sins of the whole world. Run to Him, receive your forgiveness, restore your confidence and change your world. This your time. Jesus is Lord.
