"He (Jesus) was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification."
Romans 4:25
"For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing."
Romans 7:19
"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ
Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life
has set you free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was
powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending
his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And
so he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous
requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live
according to the flesh but according to the Spirit."
Romans 8:1-4
"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ
lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son
of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."
Galatians 2:20
I recently discovered this song by Josh Wilson. I may have heard it many times before, but recently, the Lord has helped me realize that this needs to be more of a heart issue.

Confession: An Act of Worship
This series of verses has been on my mind today:
"This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us" 1 John 1:5-10
"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies." 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
"Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God." 2 Corinthians 6:14-15a
"Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”" 1 Peter 1:13-16
God, help me to rid those things in my life that are sin in your sight. Help me keep your temple clean, first because you gave your life for it, and second, so I can enjoy fellowship with You. Further, help us all to seek to be holy as You are holy, and to see sin and wickedness for what they really are, a separation from You. Thank you, Father. Amen
