I am my biggest problem. Forgiveness, grace, mercy, a new heart with new desires and the strength to live a life of selfless love toward others is the answer… His name is Jesus.
“In some way, we all give daily proof to the truth that sin still lives inside us. None of us is yet sin-free. We all continue to fail in word, thought, desire, and action. It is humbling but important to admit, because it’s only when you admit how deep and comprehensive your problem is that you get excited about the rescue that only God’s mercy can supply.
You can be courageous in admitting your sin precisely because God is richly abundant in his mercy. He comes to you in mercy not because you are good but because you are a sinner, and he knows that because of this condition, you are unable to help yourself. Since sin means that you are a bigger danger to you than anything else in your life and since it is impossible for you to run from you, there is only one hope for you. It is that someone with power, wisdom, and mercy will invade your life, forgive your sins, and progressively deliver you from the hold that sin has had on you. That mercy comes to you in a person, the Lord Jesus Christ, and his mercy is always fresh, uniquely fashioned for the sin struggles of this new day.” – Paul Tripp
Nehemiah 9:29-31 And you warned them in order to turn them back to your law. Yet they acted PRESUMPTUOUSLY and did NOT OBEY your commandments, but sinned against your rules… Many years you bore with them and warned them by your Spirit through your prophets. Yet they would not give ear… NEVERTHELESS, in your GREAT MERCIES you did not make an end of them or forsake them, for you are a GRACIOUS and MERCIFUL God.
Ephesians 2:1-10 And you were DEAD in the trespasses and sins [2] in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— [3] among whom WE ALL once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. [4] BUT GOD, being rich in MERCY, because of the GREAT LOVE with which he loved us, [5] even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by GRACE you have been saved— [6] and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, [7] so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his GRACE in KINDNESS toward us in Christ Jesus. [8] For by GRACE you have been saved through faith. And this is NOT YOUR OWN DOING; it is the GIFT of God, [9] NOT a result of works, so that no one may boast. [10] For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
