I'm Forgiven

Jeremiah 31:34 - "And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord, ’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."

There's an old saying: "To err is human, to forgive divine." That's true. We all sin and we all need to be forgiven, and the Bible says, "While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" - Romans 5:8.

He loves us so much that he sacrificed his life to forgive us for our sins, even those that we repeat again and again. And we may think that it's so easy to take advantage of God's love. In Romans, Paul confronts such thinking: "Should we sin because we are not ruled by law but by God's grace? Not at all! Don't you know that when you give yourselves to obey someone you become that person's slave? You can be slaves of sin. Then you will die. Or you can be slaves who obey God. Then you will live a godly life" - Romans 6:15-16.

The choices that we make in our lives determines the continuity of blessings of God over our lives. And even after knowing our behaviour is wrong and continually opting for wrong over right is choosing to turn our back on God. And that's a dangerous place to remain in. "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth" - Romans 1:18 and "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." - Hebrews 10:31

Let's remember that we are alive and forgiven by the grace of God and the finished work of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ on the cross.

Have A Blessed Day!

God Bless
