I commented in my sermon yesterday on how being hung up on our sin is not a sign of Holiness, but a sign of pride. Our repentance shouldn't come from when we're upset about how sin has affected us. Or we shouldn't be upset because we thought we were more righteous than that. Because you're not. In Psalms 51, David tells God against You, against You only have I sinned. Our sin is against God. That is serious stuff, but sinning against God should always drive us to the gospel. Being humble isn't beating yourself up, it's lifting Jesus up. Never let you or the devil have the final word on your sin, let Jesus.
Exalt HIM!
