About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

ARE YOU FORGIVEN?
ARE YOU FORGIVEN?
I HAVE BEEN ASKED WHY I SAID SIN IS NOT AN ISSUE ANYMORE. I DIDN'T MEAN IT THAT WAY. SIN IS ALWAYS AN ISSUE AND DOES MATTER BECAUSE THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH. "ROMANS 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
WHAT I WAS REFERRING TO IS THAT JESUS DIED FOR ALL SIN, NOT FOR JUST THE CHRISTIANS, BUT FOR EVERYONE'S SIN AND EVERY SIN THAT WILL EVER BE COMMITTED. THAT IS WHAT IT SAYS IN 1ST JOHN 2:2 WHERE IT SAYS "And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world." HE IS SPEAKING TO CHRISTIANS WHEN HE SAYS "NOT FOR OURS ONLY".
ALTHOUGH JESUS DIED FOR ALL SIN, EVEN THE ONES WE HAVE NOT YET COMMITTED, THE BIBLE SAYS WE STILL NEED TO ASK FORGIVENESS FOR THOSE SINS WHEN WE DO THEM AND THE FORGIVENESS THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN APPROPRIATED IS APPLIED TO THOSE SINS. THIS SHOWS THE DEVIL THAT WE MAY HAVE SLIPPED UP BUT ARE NOW BACK UNDER GOD'S GRACE AND FORGIVEN. THE BIBLE SAYS "If we confess our sins, he is faithful to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
I HAVE ALSO BEEN ASKED HOW I CAN SAY THAT HE DIED FOR SINS WE HAVE YET TO COMMIT. IT IS BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS. HEBREWS 10:12 SAYS "But this man (JESUS), after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. 14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified." DID YOU SEE IT "ONE SACRIFICE FOR SINS FOR EVER".
JESUS DID IT ALL AND ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS BELIEVE WHAT HE HAS DONE AND RECEIVE IT AS A FREE GIFT. SALVATION IS THE MOST PERFECT AND IMPORTANT GIFT ANYONE WILL EVER RECEIVE. "but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." OUR JOB IS TO LET PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS GIFT OF SALVATION. IT IS ALL THERE FOR THEM BUT IF THEY DON'T KNOW, HOW WILL THEY EVER RECEIVE IT.
THIS WEEK, PLEASE TELL SOMEONE ABOUT HOW MUCH JESUS LOVES THEM. THEY REALLY NEED TO KNOW AND YOU JUST MIGHT ME THE ONLY PERSON IN THIS WORLD THAT CAN REACH THEM FOR JESUS. DON'T LET AN OPPORTUNITY LIKE THIS PASS YOU BY.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
