So when we struggle to believe and obey, we should run to Him, not from Him--the opposite of our pattern, in contradiction to our feelings? Why? Because He already knows! See the gospel just keeps changing everything. The cross should continually testify to us that God fully knew we would need to be justified. Therefore, unconfessed sin is actually the foolish decision to run away from our healing and growth rather than toward it. We hang on to things we believe will satisfy us, thinking we need those more than what God offers to provide. But how can we rejoice in and worship the majesty of a loving and forgiving God if in practice we don't believe He loves and forgives, if in practice we don't believe the gospel? How can our churches rejoice and worship corporately when our collective energy is expended carrying around the saddle of unconfessed sin and shame? When people walk in honesty about their fears, shortcomings, and needs--not in thoughtless disobedience but in grace-based freedom and forgiveness--they reveal a deep understanding of the gospel. To confess our sins to one another is to violently pursue our own joy and the glory of God...and to exponentially increase our rejoicing and worship, both individually and corporately.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Matt Chandler" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/matt-chandler/god-has-made-provision-for-our-sin-in-christ-so-when-we-struggle-to/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/04e/matt-chandler-2213_christianity_god-has-made-provision-for-our-sin-in-ch_997264.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/04e/matt-chandler-2213_christianity_god-has-made-provision-for-our-sin-in-ch_997264.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/04e/matt-chandler-2213_christianity_god-has-made-provision-for-our-sin-in-ch_997264.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“God has made provision for our sin in Christ.
