"But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear." (Isaiah 59:2, KJV)
"Is there really a God or not?", "If He exists, where is He?", "Why does He remain hidden from humanity?", "Let Him appear before me so I can see Him, then I will believe." Many people argue in this manner, and there are also those who claim to be Christians, worshiping God in name only without truly knowing Him in their lives. To such people, God explains through today's meditation verse.
God, the Lord, says, "First, remove the veil covering your eyes. Then your vision will become clear to see Me." Yes, dear ones, if you search with your eyes covered, you cannot find anything. First, your eyes must be opened. The sins we commit against God are the veil over our eyes.
The sins we commit against God grow little by little, creating a separation between Him and us. Only when this separation is removed can we truly see Him. Just as two people standing face to face cannot see each other if there is a wall between them, so too does the wall of sin separate us from God, preventing us from seeing His face.
When this wall of sin is removed, not only do we see Him, but we are also protected by Him from falling into sin again. The apostle John says, "Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him." (1 John 3:6, KJV). Yes, dear ones, it is essential that the wall of sin be removed and that we abide in Him. Then we will no longer continue in sin.
The Scriptures are not mere empty words written on paper. They are life-giving, true words. If we genuinely desire to know God, we must first examine ourselves and confess our sins to Him. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9, KJV).
However, today, many who claim to believe in God and attend church do not admit that they are sinners. They say, "What great sin have I committed?", "Have I murdered? Committed adultery? Cheated others?" and consider themselves righteous. Such people, even if they go to church, cannot know God. They attend church without truly knowing Him. To such people, Jesus says, "If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth." (John 9:41, KJV).
Therefore, dear ones, if we have actions in our lives that are contrary to God, let us wholeheartedly confess them to Him and seek His forgiveness. When we ask with genuine repentance, He will forgive our sins and reveal Himself to us. Yes, "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." (1 John 1:8, KJV). Let us not deceive ourselves but live truthfully. Let us receive the forgiveness of sins and come to know God in our lives.
"...the blood of Jesus
Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." (1
John 1:7, KJV).
