"I have not departed from His commands, but treasured His words more than daily food."  Job 23:10

 

We are always likely to have hidden sin in our lives, sin we don't even know about because God's standards are so high and our performance is so imperfect.  But if we are true believers, allo our sins are forgiven because of what Christ did on the cross on our behalf (Romans 5:1;8:1).  The Bible also teaches that even if we feel guilty, God is greater than our feelings. (1 John 3:20)
