Christians Falling Down
November 1, 2024
None of us makes uninterrupted progress on our journey to purity. We stumble and fall. But we do not stay down. We can choose to wallow in guilt and shame, we can choose to stay in bad sinful habits. But, dear friend, that is unnecessary. Scripture has much to say about what happens when we fall. We are discouraged. Others might even look at us and gloat. ‘Aha, she messed up.’ Those are really our enemies. When we stumble and fall, our true friends speak truth to us, and pray for us to rise again.
As Christ followers, lets encourage each other, challenge each other, we do not need to stay down. Let’s challenge each other to ask for forgiveness and rise again. The one who has been forgiven much, loves much.
