What I love about the Bible, though, and what I love about each and every single Bible character is that God does not fall short of showing that humans have always been forever flawed. Like we will talk about the exaltation of like David all day, how David was an amazing king, how he was a man after God's own heart.

And yet this man committed adultery, murder and rebellion and all of these things. And yet God used those very things, didn't permit them, but God restored him from things that he's inflicted upon himself because of God's grace and kindness and mercy. And this is just kind of the whole like synopsis of the Bible.

From the beginning of time, the moment we read Genesis 1, 1, we see the goodness of God that he created the earth and the heavens and everything that is in between it and on it. And through that, whenever he created human beings with the sole purpose for us to be in perfect harmony with God, we messed it up.

And so the whole Bible story is mankind falling time after time after time again, and God so graciously reaching and ministering and uniting his people back to his heart because his goal ultimately is to have a harmonious relationship with mankind forever. Not for any reason, not because we've done anything, but because He just loves us. And that's it.

And so with that being said, when it comes to starting new and doing the things of God, I think it's first overcoming the shame and overcoming the old life, even if your old life was yesterday or 10 minutes ago. It's fully turning away, aka repenting from your old life and pursuing the things of God.

And God is going to honor it no matter how bad you messed up because you've turned away from the things that you were once committing and you're now turning towards the things of God. And so I just want to speak to anybody who's listening to this episode that feels like an enemy of God and feels as if they have massive beef with God or God has massive beef with them.

And what I want to encourage you with is that God has compassion upon you, but God definitely does hate your sin. But I think the mix of that is knowing that God's compassion for you will always outweigh the wrath that he has towards your sin.

So what that means is that the amount of compassion and love and empathy that God has for you will always be stronger than his anger and wrath towards your sin. And so knowing that it's knowing that, you know,

With sin comes consequences, but there's also a restoration that takes place when you follow the things of God and you repent and you turn away from you messing up because God's not looking for you to be a perfect Christian.
