“There once was a man named Job who lived in the land of Uz. He was blameless—a man of complete integrity. He feared God and stayed away from evil.” Job 1:1
You might be able to understand someone describing your entire life as “blameless,” but I never could.
My life has had sinful failures, but I also have sought repentance and determination to grow in Christ.
God does not live in the past, and neither should we. “Therefore if anyone is in Christ he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold new things come.” 2 Cor. 5:17
God is so rich in His mercy when we repent of our sins, he erases them completely. He does not remember them, and He wants us to walk in the freedom of His love and forgiveness.
Romans 6
“12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. 13 Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. 14 For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.”
If you are walking in condemnation and shame, go to prayer; go to the Word of God. Remind Satan of these Words of God:
“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” Romans 8:1
