We need one another. We need to be honest about our failures, specific in our prayers, and deliberate in our encouragement. On A final measure we can take is to confess our failures to keep our eye promise. Rather than merely feeling defeated when we sin, we should immediately return to the cross of Jesus Christ and there again humbly plead for his mercy. The victory of Jesus over sin is as potent today as the first day we believed.
Freedom begins with confession.
And confession involves repentance which is turning around, getting back on the right track, and renewing our covenant with our eyes. If we take these steps, beginning with the covenant with our own eyes, then we will be men who have gone a long way toward keeping our hearts pure and our lives useful to the Lord. There is so much at stake here. It is not only a matter of our own lives and our own holiness. Our choices affect our children as well.
