I heard the song "Voices" by the band House of Heroes a few minutes ago. Here's how it ends:
"Your greatest sin is not the abortion that you've asked forgiveness for, or the adultery or whatever is that you did in your life in a past that you're ashamed of that keeps haunting you.Your greatest sin is not that, your greatest sin is not believing Gods word when God says your forgiven. Your greatest sin is unbelief. You wanna repent of something friend? Stop repenting of sins that you've already repented of, and repent of your unbelief."When we bear the burden of sin long since repented of, we are telling Jesus that His offer to forgive comes up short. We are telling Him the not only has He NOT forgiven us, but that He cannot. We disbelieve the Gospel.
And I confess that, all too often, I do not believe the Gospel. And because of my unbelief, I am weary and weighed down by sin. I am stuck in it. Because if I am forgiven of it, hypothetically, I am no longer tethered and bound to it.
But, practically, because I still live in it, I am acting like Christ has done nothing for me, there has been neither resolution nor absolution.
Forgive me my unbelief.
