Many times we sin or fall into temptation we ask God for fogginess only to be immediately followed by a sense of lack of assurance, did God really forgive me? Am I really free? The devil will always want to push us into the drainage filled with thoughts of doubt and lack of faith in the new work of Christ. Remember, the Bible says in Hebrews 10:38 The Just shall live by faith. This faith is warranted of us even when we are asking for forgiveness. Let us not sin against God by ascribing to Him the same inconsistencies inherent to humans.
