No Record Of Our Sins ODB RADIO: Listen Now <http://www.rbc.org/odb/odb-08-30-07.shtml##> | Download <http://boss.streamos.com/download/rbc/odb/2007/08/odb-08-30-07.mp3> READ: Psalm 130 <http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?language=english&version=NIV&passage=P salm+130> If You, Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? -Psalm 130:3 <http://www.rbc.org/odb/odb-08-30-07.shtml##> About this cover <http://www.rbc.org/devotionals/our_daily_bread/cover/56492.aspx> Out of the depths" the psalmist cries to God (Ps. 130:1). His problem surfaces: terrible guilt for things done and undone in the past. "If You, Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?" (v.3). But, thankfully, God forgives. He does not keep an account of past sins, no matter how many or how grievous they have been. "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus" (Rom. 8:1). God's forgiveness then leads us to fear Him (Ps. 130:4). We worship and adore God, for grace and forgiveness cause us to love Him all the more. But what happens if we slide back into old sins? What if sin lingers? We are to repent and "wait for the Lord" and be patient while God works (vv.5-6). We are not hopeless cases. We can "hope" in the One who will deliver us in His time. We now have these two assurances: God's unfailing love-He will never leave us nor forsake us (Heb. 13:5). And God's promise of full redemption in due time-He will redeem us from all our iniquities (Ps. 130:8) and present us before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy (Jude 24). We're forgiven! We're free! With the psalmist, let's worship the Lord as we await His coming. -David Roper <http://www.rbc.org/devotionals/our_daily_bread/writer/4561.aspx> How blest is he whose trespass Has freely been forgiven, Whose sin is wholly covered Before the sight of heaven. -Psalter When we're forgiven, no record is kept of our failures. Kamis, 30 Agustus CATATAN DOSA KITA Jika Engkau, ya TUHAN, mengingat-ingat kesalahan-kesalahan, Tuhan, siapakah yang dapat tahan? (Mazmur 130:3) Bacaan: Mazmur 130 Setahun: Mazmur 129-131; 1 Korintus 11:1-16 Dari jurang yang dalam", pemazmur berseru kepada Allah (Mazmur 130:1). Lalu, masalahnya dikemukakan, yaitu rasa bersalah yang luar biasa karena berbagai hal yang telah ia lakukan dan tidak lakukan di masa lalu. "Jika Engkau, ya Tuhan, mengingat-ingat kesalahan-kesalahan, Tuhan, siapakah yang dapat tahan?" (ayat 3). Namun, puji Tuhan, Allah mengampuni. Dia tak menyimpan catatan dosa masa lalu, entah betapa banyak atau menyedihkannya dosa itu. "Demikianlah sekarang tidak ada penghukuman bagi mereka yang ada di dalam Kristus Yesus" (Roma 8:1). Pengampunan Allah membuat kita takut akan Dia (Mazmur 130:4). Kita menyembah dan mengagungkan Allah, karena anugerah dan pengampunan yang membuat kita lebih mengasihi Dia. Namun, bagaimana jika kita terpeleset lagi ke dosa lama? Bagaimana jika dosa itu masih ada? Kita harus bertobat dan "menanti-nantikan Tuhan" (Mazmur 130:5). Dan, bersabar saat Allah bekerja. Kita bukan orang sakit yang tak berpengharapan. Kita bisa "berharap" kepada Pribadi yang akan melepaskan kita sesuai waktu-Nya. Kita tahu dua kepastian ini: Kasih Allah tak pernah gagal, yaitu bahwa Dia tak akan pernah meninggalkan kita atau mengabaikan kita (Ibrani 13:5). Dan, janji Allah tentang penebusan total akan berlangsung pada waktunya-Dia akan menebus kita dari semua pelanggaran kita (Mazmur 130:8), lalu membawa kita ke dalam kemuliaan-Nya tanpa noda dan penuh sukacita (Yudas 24). Kita diampuni! Kita bebas! Bersama pemazmur, mari kita menyembah Tuhan saat menantikan kedatangan-Nya -DHR KETIKA KITA DIAMPUNI TIDAK ADA CATATAN KESALAHAN KITA yang disimpan ________________________________ Mazmur 130 130:1 Nyanyian ziarah. Dari jurang yang dalam aku berseru kepada-Mu, ya TUHAN! 130:2 Tuhan, dengarkanlah suaraku! Biarlah telinga-Mu menaruh perhatian kepada suara permohonanku. 130:3 Jika Engkau, ya TUHAN, mengingat-ingat kesalahan-kesalahan, Tuhan, siapakah yang dapat tahan? 130:4 Tetapi pada-Mu ada pengampunan, supaya Engkau ditakuti orang. 130:5 Aku menanti-nantikan TUHAN, jiwaku menanti-nanti, dan aku mengharapkan firman-Nya. 130:6 Jiwaku mengharapkan Tuhan lebih dari pada pengawal mengharapkan pagi, lebih dari pada pengawal mengharapkan pagi. 130:7 Berharaplah kepada TUHAN, hai Israel! Sebab pada TUHAN ada kasih setia, dan Ia banyak kali mengadakan pembebasan. 130:8 Dialah yang akan membebaskan Israel dari segala kesalahannya. ________________________________ "This e-mail (including any attachments) is intended solely for the addressee and could contain information that is confidential; If you are not the intended recipient, you are hereby notified that any use, disclosure, copying or dissemination of this e-mail and any attachment is strictly prohibited and you should immediately delete it.
