Forgiven

1 John 1:9

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 

Forgiveness. 

I daily marvel at the great love that God gave in the person of His Son, Jesus Christ. 

For a long time I struggled to believe that God forgave me.

 “I am not worthy. I keep messing up. I don’t feel like a Christian.

Lord help me.”

God heard my prayer. 

Through the mercies of God I learned what grace is. 

For it is by grace through faith that I am forgiven. 

Grace. 

Amazing.

 Unworthy in and of myself. 

Saved and forgiven by

Worthy God. 

 

Forgiveness. 

Freely given. 

Freely received. 

This lesson enabled me to become a forgiving person. The more I understood the magnitude, the magnificence, of God’s  forgiveness, the more I wanted to live a life marked by such a characteristic. 

The lack of forgiveness towards others is one of those heavy weights that has to laid aside. 

An unforgiving spirit is a heavy load. 

How to get rid of it? Give it to God. He will enable that which He has commanded. 

Forgive even as God for Christ sake has forgiven you.

Forgiven.

I am set free. 

God bless.

In Christ,
