As our conscience has been quickened by the holy spirit word, we have become aware of the evil of sin, of its power, its guilt, its woe, and we look upon it with abhorrence. We find that sin has separated us from God, that we are in bondage to the power of evil. The more we struggle to escape, the more we realise our helplessness. Our moves are impure, our hearts are unclean. We see that our life has been filled with selfishness and sin. We long to be forgiven, to be cleansed, to be set free. Harmony with God, likeness to Him: what can we do to obtain it? The Lord says, “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow. Though they be red as crimson, they shall be as wool.” “A new heart also will I give you”.

We have resolved to give ourselves to God. Now we go to Him in prayer, and ask that he will wash away our sins and give us a new heart. There is, therefore, now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit. “As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him.” We may come with all our weakness, our sinfulness, and fall at his feet in penitence (Isaiah 1:18; Ezekiel 36:26; Romans 8:1; Colossians 2:6).
