Devotional
Matthew 18:15-22
by Andrés Chinchín
“Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven” (Matthew 18:18).
The faith of believers allows them to live in a state of responsibility toward God and the world. This is how Jesus granted his church the ministry of the keys, which allows them to forgive sins of those who repent and retain the sins of those who persist in them.
However, this ministry is aimed at the holiness and well-being of the church and not abuse or control by the authorities.
To think about:
Jesus is the one who forgives sins, and it is never too late to receive his forgiveness and salvation.
Prayer:
Thank you, Lord, for your mercy, and thank you for the forgiveness of sins. Help me to live in holiness and shape my heart to be sensitive to the conviction of your Spirit.
