Unconfessed Sin and Bone Diseases - Get Forgiveness from God

Some sicknesses, I believe, are spiritually related. The Bible especially relates diseases of the bone to un-confessed sin.

David says in Psalm 32 about the time when he remained silent about his sins and hoped everything would eventually go away, but his bones began deteriorating as he continued to hide his sin.

When I kept silent, my bones wasted away

 It is not good enough to be a good person. No matter how good we are, our goodness will still measure up only to filthy rags in the presence of a Holy God! We might be doing everything right, everything good, beneficial for others but if we do not have forgiveness of our sins through believing in Jesus Christ's death and resurrection, we will not see God. No wonder all other religions don't have a clearly defined end for the people who believe in it. Some believe, the person keeps on going through the cycle of birth and rebirth till they live one perfect life and find moksha (get rid of their cyclic life). Some believe they need to get rid of certain types of people on the earth in order to achieve their salvation! Only Jesus said "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life! No one comes to the Father God but through Me. How then can we find peace with a Holy God? David says in Psalm 32:5

Then I acknowledged my sin to you
    and did not cover up my iniquity.
I said, “I will confess
    my transgressions to the Lord.”
And you forgave
    the guilt of my sin.

Why is this the way to do it? Why not just concentrate on doing a lot of good things here on earth and then ask God if this is good enough for Him to take us into His Kingdom? This would not work for about 3 reasons that come to mind

1. God is the Creator of all things and He is the lawmaker and none of us are above(greater) than His law so we cannot bend it to suit ourselves.
2. God is so Holy, an all consuming fire. If we think we can put our hands in fire and hope it does not burn aren't we being foolish? The nature of fire is to burn anything that comes in contact with it! God is Holy and this anything that comes in contact with it and is not Holy will be consumed in His Holy Fire!
3. By ourselves, there is no way that we can ever break out of our sinful life, which obviously God knew we could not so He had a plan (and always does) and sent His Only Son Jesus (equally Holy, equally God, equally human) to suffer the wrath that would have otherwise come on us because of God's nature of Holiness. Only God can handle God's wrath! Only God can create a heart of Holiness in us! Only God can cover us in His sheet of righteousness so He could come near us, without consuming us in His Holy Fire, just to commune with us like He loved to with Adam and Eve in the cool of the day.

God's call for being Holy is His call to restore our fellowship with Him! He has taken all the initiatives needed for us to be restored to Him, unhindered! All that we have to do is accept His sacrifice for us, acknowledge His plan for our salvation through Jesus Christ alone and be restored in fellowship with Him. If it be hard for you to grasp this fact, lets read Psalm 32:8 

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; 
I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.

 God longs for you to commune with Him, way more than you can ever imagine!

Power of the Cross

Colossians 2:13-15 "13And you who were dead in trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your flesh (your sensuality, your sinful carnal nature), [God] brought to life together with [Christ], having [freely] forgiven us all our transgressions, 14Having cancelled and blotted out and wiped away the handwriting of the note (bond) with its legal decrees and demands which was in force and stood against us (hostile to us). This [note with its regulations, decrees, and demands] He set aside and cleared [a]completely out of our way by nailing it to [His] cross. 15[God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross].

We were once a people who had a written note against us- saying"GUILTY". You know what happened at the cross because of that note against us? God took the notes that were against us, and nailed it to the cross-thereby tearing it and declaring, from this day (of the crucifixion) forward, my children are no longer guilty. They are free.

And to them (the principalities and powers) which were against us and wanting to destroy us. God made a public spectacle. Can you imagine? When satan came against us with our guilt tag, God took it and tore it and threw it on his face and said. "Thats my child, she believes in me, she's mine. I have paid for her, IN FULL" God made a bold display on our behalf. He did'nt do it in a secret cave. He went right up there on the mountain where all could see. Declared, "My child who believes in Me is not guilty. My judgement of my child says -Not Guilty- can anyone dare bring any allegations on them?"

Romans 8:1 says "THEREFORE, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit.(A)"

It fills my heart with sheer reverence and joy that God would do such a wonderful thing for me and for you who believe in Jesus. That place, where the enemy joined forces to make fun of me for my guilt, God made a spectacle of them and not of me. I can almost picture, how heaven would have made sheer joke of the enemy satan when he thought he had us, but was so totally, utterly defeated at the cross. I feel like saying hurrah for Jesus my Lord and Saviour that I enjoy this good life because you made it possible for me.

If you do not know the Living Lord who loves you so unconditionally, Romans 5:8 (Whole Chapter) says "God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Take time today to know God, He loves you more than you can ever imagine, more than you have ever been loved by anyone. Reconcile with God today.
