Did You Do It?

Did you do it? Did you do something that you shouldn’t have? Did you not do something that you should have?


Did you do it? Did you think a thought you shouldn’t have? Did you react the wrong way? Did you open your mouth when you should have kept it shut? Did you keep it shut when you should have opened it?

Did you do it? Did you look at what you shouldn’t have? Did you not look at what you should have?

Did you judge, indulge, make wrong choices etc…?


How are you feeling? Discouraged, worthless, defeated, condemned, guilty?


Did you do it?

Did you confess it to Jesus?

Did you ask for forgiveness?

Did you remember that He forgives?

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:9

Did you remind yourself that there is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus?

Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. 3 For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit
Romans 8:1-4

Did you remind yourself that He is faithful?

If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.
2nd Timothy 2:13

Did you remind yourself that you are victorious through Jesus Christ?

But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place
2nd Corinthians 2:14

We can’t take sin lightly, but we also can’t allow it to paralyze us and keep us stuck in the past. We don’t have to be defined by our failures when there is a Savior who offers forgiveness for our past, power to overcome what keeps holding us back and the opportunity to move forward in life. Remember Jesus went to the cross for us and rose again with all power and authority. Did you do it?
