Redemption is sweeter after the bitterness of sin has been tasted. We cannot truly understand the depth and magnitude of salvation until we comprehend the ugliness from which we have been saved.
The audience on the day of Pentecost had no idea that they had crucified their Savior. And when, through Peter’s sermon, they realized their grievous error, they were cut to the heart and were compelled to act.
36 “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.”
37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.” (Acts 2:36-39)

No one gets it perfectly. Some of my best life lessons have come from my failures. As Paul put it in 1 Corinthians 12, “When I am weak, then I am strong.”
The Christian walk is not easy, and it can seem overwhelming when we consider all that God has called us to as His children. One of Satan’s biggest traps in my life has been an expectation of perfection.
Thankfully, grace and repentance are a part of the good news/gospel message. And part of walking the Christian walk is confessing our sin, as well as our need of forgiveness.
