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.

THE WAGE OF SIN IS DEATH
THE WAGE OF SIN IS DEATH
THAT OLD QUESTION HAS COME UP AGAIN, "WILL GOD CONTINUALLY FORGIVE US EVEN IF WE COMMIT THE SAME SIN OVER AND OVER AGAIN"? MY QUESTION IS, IF YOU ARE BORN AGAIN, "WHY ARE YOU COMMITTING THE SAME SIN OVER AND OVER AGAIN"? IF YOU ARE ASKING, I ASSUME YOU ARE. I HAD THAT PROBLEM BEFORE MY FIRST MARRIAGE AS WE WERE LIVING TOGETHER. I KNEW I WAS SINNING AND I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THE GUILT OF THAT SIN LEAD TO A QUICKER MARRIAGE. I ASKED JESUS TO FORGIVE ME AND I KNOW THAT THE FORGIVENESS THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN GIVEN COVERED MY SINS BUT JESUS SAYS TO ASK SO I ASKED.
JESUS TELLS US TO "Repent". I LOOKED UP THE WORD "REPENT" AND ONE DEFINITION SAYS "TO FEEL SUCH SORROW FOR SIN AS TO BE DISPOSED TO CHANGE ONE'S LIFE FOR THE BETTER". AS A CHRISTIAN, YOU SHOULD WANT TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE. WHATEVER YOUR SIN MIGHT BE, I PROMISE YOU THAT YOU WILL FEEL MUCH BETTER WHEN YOU STOP AND ASK FORGIVENESS.
JESUS DID DIED FOR ALL SIN, PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE, BUT WHEN WE DO SIN, THE BIBLE SAYS TO ASK FORGIVENESS FOR THAT SIN, NOT BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT FORGIVEN, BUT BECAUSE SATAN WILL USE THAT SIN AGAINST YOU. SIN OPENS US UP TO SATAN, GIVING HIM POWER OVER US AND THE BEST WAY TO STOP THAT IS TO ASK FOR FORGIVENESS AND STOP DOING WHATEVER SIN IT IS. LYING IS ONE OF THE SINS WE COMMIT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. TAKE FOR EXAMPLE, THE PHONE RINGS AND YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK TO ANYONE. WHEN YOUR WIFE OR CHILD ANSWERS THE PHONE YOU GET THEM TO LIE FOR YOU AND SAY THAT YOU ARE NOT HOME. ALTHOUGH THIS SIN HAS BEEN FORGIVEN, IT DOESN'T MAKE IT OK TO CONTINUE TO LIE OR MAKE SOMEONE ELSE LIE FOR YOU. WE HAVE TO RENEW OUR MINDS. LOOK WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS ABOUT LIARS IN REVELATION 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. THAT ALONE SHOULD MAKE US STOP LYING.
ONE OF SATAN'S TRICKS IS TO TRY TO TELL US THAT OUR SINS ARE NOT FORGIVEN AND IF WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS, WE WILL FALL INTO HIS TRAP. JUST LOOK AT THESE SCRIPTURES. HOSEA 4:6 SAYS "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge". PSALM 103:12 SAYS "As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us." 1ST JOHN 1:9 SAYS "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." IF THAT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU, LOOK WHAT JESUS, HIMSELF, SAID IN LUKE 6:37 "Forgive, and ye shall be forgiven."
SO, TO ANSWER THE QUESTION, "WILL GOD CONTINUALLY FORGIVE US EVEN IF WE COMMIT THE SAME SIN OVER AND OVER AGAIN"? YES, BUT JUST REMEMBER WHEN JESUS BEGAN TO PREACH, HE SAID TO REPENT (MATTHEW 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.) ANOTHER DEFINITION OF REPENT MEANS "To feel remorse, contrition, or self reproach for what one has done or failed to do" AND COMMITTING THE SAME SIN OVER AND OVER AGAIN IS NOT REPENTING. GET ON YOUR KNEES AND ASK JESUS TO HELP YOU. IF HE LOVED YOU ENOUGH TO DIE FOR YOU, YOU KNOW HE LOVES YOU ENOUGH TO HELP YOU OUT OF YOUR PROBLEM. I AM PRAYING FOR YOU.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
