Cleansed from a Guilty Conscience!

Pastor Leon’s SOAP: Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer

July 13: Isaiah 15-18; Hebrews 10

Scripture: Hebrews (NIV) 10:22 Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and have our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Le us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised if faithful.

Observation: We can come to God in sincerity and in full assurance that the sacrifice made for our sins is more than sufficient to cover our offense against God. The sacrifice is so sufficient that it even removes our guilty conscience!

Application: First, the sacrifice made for me was sufficient to meet all the requirements of The Holy God! Second, the sacrifice for me was made by the only One who had no sins of his own for which to pay. In love, He agreed to pay for mine!! Third, it was a sacrifice that ended in a resurrection!!! Fourth, the One who died for me, now lives for me, and lives in me!!!! That is why I can draw near to God with joy and not fear!

Prayer: Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all. (Isaac Watts) Amen
