You Are Forgiven

Unfortunately, not one of us are perfect therefor neither of us have gone through life without committing a single sin.

We were all born with a sin nature and a desire to serve ourselves but our sin doesn’t have to be what defines us. We do not have to feel captive by our past or hold on to the pain that once tore us apart because no matter what you may have done, big or small, the moment you accept Christ into your heart He forgives you.

1 John 1:9 says this “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

We serve a truly gracious, merciful, loving and forgiving God; One who does not hold any grudges, One who uses moments like your past to help you grow, learn and become better then the man you once were. Don’t let your past hinder you from truly appreciating the love and forgiveness God has for you.

2 Corinthians 5:17 says this “Therefor if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

When you accept Christ into your life, you become a new creature. Old things are gone away and that includes your past and the negative emotions that were holding you down. No matter who you are, or what you’ve done, God has forgiven you. He loves you and He desires a relationship with you, one that is not deterred by fear or uncertainty but one that is strengthened by faith, trust and love.

Don’t let your past weigh you down but allow God into your heart to carry those burdens for you, He died on a cross to take your sins away and to give you life. Stop letting others and yourself be what defines your worth because in Christ, you are enough, you have worth and you are forgiven!
