Failure Is Not Finalනියැදිය

What does God see as a failure?

To fail is to fall short, to be perceived as weak, to break down, to fall, not to reach your purpose, and to lack success. No wonder we are all so afraid of failure! When it comes to failure, we should decide whose rules we are playing by. Would you rather be a success in business and a failure as a parent, or vice versa? Would you rather be successful by the world’s standards or God’s? Now is the time to decide what definitions of success and failure you will live by.

What is failure in God’s eyes? Failure in the eyes of God is disobedience to Him. It is neglecting His commands. It is the rejection of His Son, Jesus Christ and the redemption that He has provided for us. It is rejecting the truth as we find it in Jesus, the Son of God.

The Bible describes failure as disobedience to God. God is faithful in showing us our sins and disobedience, and the Holy Spirit shows us how to respond to them. First, you must confess your sin, and second, you must wait for God, the Holy Spirit, to show you how to proceed.

Hebrews 3:12-13 - See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God. But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.

2 Chronicles 12:1-2 - After Rehoboam had established his sovereignty and royal power, he and all Israel with him forsook the Law of the LORD. In the fifth year of Rehoboam’s reign, because they had been unfaithful to the LORD, Shishak king of Egypt came up and attacked Jerusalem.

Failure in God’s eyes is not living the way He created you to live, never acknowledging Him as the Creator of all, and rejecting Him. God gave you the gift of life, and He created you to have a relationship with Him. Your greatest failure would be to reject the way of life that God expects of you and to reject the God who gave you life.

When you fail, there is one thing you can count on. 2 Corinthians 12:9 - But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.

We must, however, never use our failures as an excuse for sinning. If we have sinned, we need to confess those sins so that we can be forgiven.
