“I have failed many times. But Christ never fails”

Postby Bible Bear » 19 Mar 2010, 02:16

Hey out there gang and all readers of CFF. There are many Christians walking about pretending they never did anything wrong. This includes some preachers as well. And even many whom post at various forums. They want others to believe they have been good and they still are.

Please let me share with you. In The Bible it tells us be perfect as your Father in Heaven is perfect” how could Jesus ask us for such a high demand when God is perfect and we as humans are not. But just as The Lord has taught us not to Lie or steal one time another we have. Only Jesus Christ can fulfill this perfectly as He did. This is why He was the only one worthy found to die on the cross for our sins..

Gang we all fail all of us at one time or another even now. This failure does not mean we are separated from God it means that we can’t do this like Jesus did. A while back a few years ago I had very bad language all over the place. Though I know to God it was wrong I did it anyway. After meeting Anna who hates this language who once spoke this way also got me to stop mostly. There are occasions like I hit my head and a bad word comes out. Gang I am not perfect but Christ if perfect. I don’t encourage anyone to use bad language or to speak badly against others. I am only telling you how things honestly are.

What person can say? I have never done wrong or who can say I don’t do any wrong now since I have accepted Jesus. That is not true. We all still do wrong but not as severe as before we knew Jesus. We all still have our faults. For in Romans 3: 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. The Bible also says there is none Good not even one whom seeks after God. While Jesus was on Earth He was called a Good teacher. Jesus corrects this man saying only God is Good. If Jesus is the son of God how could he not be God? That is a good question and now here is a revelation. Jesus was sent by the father to what Jesus would be born into man kind. Jesus was now inside of a human body. Not in the glorious body he is from. This means that temptations try to call out to Jesus as if you look in Matthew 4 Satan tries to do this. Jesus by The word it is written rested all sin. But because at this time he was lower than the angels he now was serving the Father in this body which now as human not being good. Jesus had to submit his whole mind body and soul unto The Father into obedience to him but Christ did not fail the Father or us he fulfilled all the prophecies spoken about him centuries before his birth even after his Death the prophecies were all fulfilled spoken about Jesus. This is the son of God and God himself the trinity of God The son.


I don’t tell anyone to sin. I don’t encourage it in the least. But we need to be honest to the Lord our sins to him. We not only confess but we repent to him. Repent means to change the wrong we have done and do what is right to God. But no matter how many adjustments we make we still have fault. Then if Jesus asked us to be perfect and we can not how can we be The Children of God. For this is where Christ comes to fill in that void. We are saved by Grace not by works, not even by law. God is telling us strive for perfection. Reach for it. Be perfect. Try to be this. Do the works for the fruits in the spirit obey the laws. Try to be perfect in these things and yet we can’t only Jesus could do this.

That’s why in the Book of Revelation Jesus the lamb who was slain which is Jesus The lamb who died on the cross for our sins. He Jesus whom did not sin was the only one worthy to open the scrolls. He is the only one that can fulfill perfection that we can’t. But The Lord wants us to try. By our failures and sins we learn by them by not doing them anymore. And God is pleased when we confess and we turn away from our sins. God can see if we truly are following after him. But don’t think by our works or by the law you are a Child of God. We are to obey but we are children because of Jesus Christ made it possible for us to stand before God whom is perfect without no fault. Therefore no one can say I have done too badly. That Jesus will not accept me. He surely can and will if you do accept him give him your life and turn away from your sins and follow him. And no one can say I have been too good that Jesus did not have to do this. Jesus died for all sins. Your not too good to accept Jesus either we all have sinned. No matter how moral you have lived. We all need Jesus Christ to fill in that void of our imperfection and of our sins. Again I do not and neither does God tell anyone to sin in any way. But we do in some form or manner. But they whom sin on purpose against God will get in trouble just like I did. Sin leads to trouble. It is worse than one thinks. God knows the true weight and measurement of sin. For in Romans the wages of sin is Death. Yet we see by the grace of Jesus He can take these sins away if we bring him in our life. We will never get to perfection but we need to strive for it to be good examples and to share with others about Christ to bring them to him. For we can’t save but He can save. We are not perfect but He Jesus is. Continue in this spiritual battle. We all are on one. No one is any of exception. Everyone is in this battle even those whom don’t believe don’t realize this. By His word in The Bible this is how we fight this battle. This is what Jesus did when He was here. Faith comes by hearing the Bible says when we hear these words in Faith we follow Noah was not perfect. He was perfect in his generations yes. But not perfect? Peter was not perfect but a very close disciple but like his disciples we deny ourselves but we proclaim Jesus in our Lives it is not because of us or anything that we did. It is because of what God has done and can and will do. Our hope and trust in faith not to be to ourselves but to God the Lord. Jesus will now be real in your life. Just like He is in mine and many other friends I know. Some say how come I don’t see this? Because neither The Bible nor God is a religion. God is real. And if you don’t understand you may not see the real. He is real and Pastor Frank here can tell you. And I bet other members here can tell you also how real God is. That very God spoken in The Holy Bible is very real and in all things He has told us. If we place hope in ourselves or any other thing or anyone we will fail completely. If we place our hope in the Lord and even though we do fail on some things Jesus will keep working on our lives climbing up and improving to get better in our ways. No matter what we have done good or bad if you have not believed now please let me tell you. I am all blind in both eyes. Yet the Lord is using me as a Witness to you many whom can see. And the Lord is using you or can use you also to reach out to others. For in God all things are possible even through our imperfection. Ask Jesus in your life today. Changes my not happen over night as Rome was not built in one day. This will take time also but if you don’t step forward for Christ you will never know who He was. I have rejected God in the past like most. I know how it is. God is real and you need to believe this. Kirk Cameron a once atheist has seen for himself God is real CS Lewis a once atheist scientist seen God is real Albert Einstein proclaims God is real so has Benjamin Franklin one of the greatest inventors of all history and so has Isaac Newton whom has written many Bible stuff these guys are still respected in these days without a doubt. If they believed why not us? They realize they were not perfect. They realized all they had they still needed God. And so do we. Don’t wait until it is too late.

If we say that we have NO SIN, we DECEIVE OURSELVES,and the truth is not in us.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness... 1 John 1:8-9
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can't stress enough how important it is to 'confess our sins daily.'

God does not hear our prayers unless we confess...
