1 Peter 1: 3In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
God who is omniscience sees all and knows all. Many of us
have hidden sins and hidden idols where we have put other things as a priority.
In the book of Ezekiel, God revealed all the hidden idols of the leaders and
priests that they kept in secret rooms.
In the case of our present day believers, many do not harbour
physical idols at home or at their place of work, however in their hearts they
have idols which keep them away from God and from spending time doing God’s
work.
These other priorities in life are actually a form of idols
on our hearts and minds. However, God is still merciful and have given us a
living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ who defeated all the
powers of darkness so that we who follow Jesus would have the same authority
over principalities and powers of darkness.
This is the hope that we shall have victory over all
temptations and bondages. God has made a way for us through Jesus Christ to
repent and to turn back to Him each and every time we encounter more
temptations or if we succumb to it, then we have Jesus who is our advocate wo
pleads on our behalf and we can come before Him and repent of all the sins of
idols upon our hearts.
