But though we are sinful, God still loves us. When the sinful boy repented and returned, his father received him gladly. Just so, God wants us to return to Him. For this reason, He has sent Jesus Christ to bring us back to Himself.
God's forgiveness and love are unconditional. He loved us while we were still sinners (Romans 5:8) and we cannot earn His love by our good works. We are forgiven based on the perfect work of Jesus Christ. God does, however, require repentance in order to grant forgiveness.
When You Sin, Turn TO God - Not Away From Him. God is not surprised when you sin. He's not intimidated by your mistakes. In fact, He wants to be with you and walk alongside you when you've sinned.
As the Judge of all humanity, God sees all of a believer's sins as having been transferred to Jesus on the cross and paid in full (John 19:30). For Him to punish us for our sins would be to suggest that Jesus didn't finish the job.
Yes, He will forgive you, but if you are using God's love, mercy, and forgiveness as an excuse to keep sinning willingly, then God knows your intentions and will not hear you. He will only answer a truly repentant heart that yearns to be righteous.
we are all sinners separated from the glory of God. even committing 1 sin in life that is enough eve if we stop doing it. the fact that once we sin is enough to keep us away from entering heaven.
I want to assure you that for all those in Christ, the answer to this question is a resounding "Yes!" Yes, God will forgive all of your sins. Even the ones that have plagued you the longest and consumed you the most. God's forgiveness does not depend in the slightest degree on what you do or not do.
Scriptures show that our sin grieves Him: Genesis 6:5-6 says, “Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord was sorry that He made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.”
The self-condemnation I have in mind is the unshakable sense of guilt that can bury us even when we've confessed our sin and turned our back on it. The root of the problem here is our focus. We are focusing too much on ourselves—our sins, our failures—rather than on the Lord and his provision for those sins.
Jesus showed His love by giving His life for you. Even when you don't understand what's going on in your life, choose to believe God loves you. You can trust Him. He redeems every trial, and He'll work all things for good in your life.
We find this promise throughout Scripture. Cling to this promise in Deuteronomy 31:8: “The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.
God doesn't take sin lightly, and neither should we. But have you ever asked yourself why God hates sin so much? One important reason is because He loves us – and since He loves us, He hates what sin does to us. Sin is like a deadly cancer that hurts and eventually destroys us.
Psalm 103:3-4 reminds us that God is a God who 'forgives all your sins' and 'redeems your life from the pit'. Not only that, but he 'satisifes your desires with good things'. God is constantly going far beyond what we need or deserve, because he is lavish and gracious in who he is and all he does - Psalm 103:8-12.
With this declaration, Alma identified for Corianton the three most abominable sins in the sight of God: (1) denying the Holy Ghost, (2) shedding innocent blood, and (3) committing sexual sin. Adultery was third to murder and the sin against the Holy Ghost as abominable sins.
Sin blocks blessing, so sin MUST be dealt with. Sin always has consequences. Sin always blocks blessing. Sin most often impacts on the lives of others.
God hates sin, not only because it dishonors him, but because it damages me. Sin damages us, Christians. “God is a very happy God in providing gospel hope to sinners.” Ephesians 4:30 says that we can grieve God with our sin.
There's absolutely nothing than can separate you from Gods love. He loves us even when we sin. He hates the sin we do, but has never ending love for us. It's when we realize we have sinned, we must turn to Him and ask for forgiveness. Hope this helps.
Jesus has paid the price for every sin. You may have felt like your sins are too serious or that you have made the same mistake too many times. But no matter how much we have sinned, we can always repent and be forgiven.
Therefore I tell you, people will be forgiven for every sin and blasphemy, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come."
Yes! Unlike human beings, who get tired of offering forgiveness for the same offense over and over again, God never tires of forgiving, no matter what the sin, no matter how often it has been committed. God is ever faithful. He sent his Son to die for your sins and has purchased your salvation by his blood.
Repentance is always available, even if you've made the same mistake again. The Lord has said, “As often as my people repent will I forgive them their trespasses against me” (Mosiah 26:30). Be one of “His people,” and return to the Lord whenever you stray.
God no longer punishes us for our sin because Jesus took that punishment. The Bible says bad things that happen to us are a result of God's discipline. They are not a punishment for sin, rather, they are a correction, as a parent would correct a child.
