“I don’t worry about my behavior,” a young woman told me recently. “Sure, I do bad things, a lot of them, but I have fun in my life and that’s what it’s all about. Besides, God will forgive me–that’s His job, isn’t it?”
Pretty glib, if you ask me. This young lady doesn’t understand what forgiveness cost our God–the cruel death of His one and only Son upon the cross, so that we can know forgiveness.
Ephesians 1:7 teaches ,”In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.”.
Our forgiveness cost God a great deal. We should be more mindful of His sacrifice the next time we are tempted to sin.
Yes, He will forgive you when you come to Him in honest, open faith, seeking Him with a contrite heart.
God bless you today, as you contemplate the truth of His Word. Pastor Jim.
