Recently, as I was picking up my children from school, I noticed something interesting. Although parking was available only ten feet away, one person decided to park in the fire lane, right under the "do not park here" sign. I snapped a picture of the scene because it perfectly defines the biblical word "trespass."
"Trespass" means to know exactly what God expects of us, exactly where the line is that He has drawn in the sand, but to willfully and deliberately step over the line. The truth of the matter is that often we are not ignorant of God's will - - usually we know exactly what God expects of us, but we choose to ignore His words.
Thankfully, Jesus will forgive us of our deliberate sins if we repent and turn to Him! In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace (Ephesians 1:7).
