YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN.

Your sins are forgiven. You are perfect and complete in Christ, not by your works or self-effort. So get the idea of perfection out of your mind, for to attain the level of perfection you seek in the flesh, your life will be a vicious cycle of do's and don'ts that will keep you stagnant and miserable. Romans 4:5 portrays a gracious act of God: He justifies the ungodly. Only God can do this. And this is His heartbeat in the New Testament- to justify the ungodly and to forgive sins. Glory to God! So cease from your self effort, your works and your worries. Stop trying to achieve success by your goodness and stop thinking you are a failure because of sin. If you are born again, your sins are forgiven. And if you are not, your sins are forgiven as well, simply believe and it will begin to work for you. Your success is a result of God's grace; there is none of you involved. Exalt the finished works of Jesus above your adequacies and your shortcomings. Let yourself go. You will see explosions of His goodness and might once you begin to see that all things work by His grace and you begin to walk in His grace. Your sins are forgiven.
