�A man�s conscience . . . tells him what he shouldn�t do� but it doesn�t keep him from doing it.� -Frank A. Clark
Can You Be Forgiven? 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God. There you are, driving down the interstate toward home. The speed limit is 60 mph, and you are cruising along at 73. Then, the unthinkable happens: you zoom past a police car. Immediately, your eyes dart to the rearview mirror. Did he see you? Has his car pulled onto the road? Without a doubt, this scene has happened to most of us; these moments are sometimes the clearest instances of self-realization that we ever have. The truth is, the police car represents a greater truth: drivers are not supposed to speed. Even though you may know this simple little rule, seeing a policeman probably makes you look at your speedometer, in order to make sure you are within the legal limits. Whether you are speeding or not, you always hope the squad car stays where it is, and you always feel better when it is safely behind you. Does this sound at all like your spiritual life? How often do you go about your day, without a care in the world, and then suddenly find yourself caught in a moment of extreme spiritual awareness? If the Lord appeared right now, would He catch you �speeding�? Ask Jesus to help you understand that He is always beside you, seeing all that you do. Here is the bonus, though: even if Jesus gives you a spiritual �ticket,� take joy in the fact that He has already paid your fine. Copyright � 2000, IN TOUCH Magazine. In Touch Ministries.
