A clean slate!


The extent to which God forgives us is amazing. The dimensions are beyond our imagination. Don't dwell on your past mistakes. Don't let them haunt you. Don't believe the devil's lies that God wouldn't love you for all that you've done. Nothing can separate you from the love of God( Romans 8:39). Jesus hates the sin but looks at us, sinners and calls us friends! Jesus came down for sinners like us. Who needs a cure? The sick or the healthy? It's we who need Jesus! Freedom and forgiveness! His grace and mercy! It's we who need the gift of salvation that He freely gives through the power of His resurrection! Now more than ever!!

God would never treat you according to what your sins deserve. (Psalm 103:10) The moment you confess your sins and want God to take control of your life, he puts all of them behind His back and gives you a fresh start( Isaiah 38:17). No matter how wicked you've been, God will cleanse you from your sins but ONLY when you confess( 1 John 1:8-10). Confess and don't conceal( Proverbs 28:13). He is faithful to forgive you because He never runs out of mercy. They are new every morning( Lamentations 3:22,23). 

He doesn't stop with just forgiving our sins but He also forgets about them (Jeremiah 31:34). He doesn't look at you as the world does. The world says,"Once a cheater, always a cheater!". But God looks at you and says,"No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God."-1John 3:10. You are born of God!

You may have deceived someone. But when you accepted Jesus, through Him you will be made trustworthy. Or if your trust was broken so many times that you cannot trust anyone anymore, trust God. He won't allow a wrong relationship in your life. Allow God to take the wheel while you take the back seat. He's in control. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy the ride. 

Receive His forgiveness. His grace and mercy. Repent from your sins. Jesus is about to pay a second visit to the world. He will judge every deed, good and evil and repay us accordingly. He will come to take all of us who believe in His name and are baptised when there is still time. To take us into His glory. To gift us the eternal life we are hoping for! To be with Him forever. Amen!
