Can We Forgiven?
"But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the
name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God." I
Corinthians 6: 11bReading: I Corinthians 6: 9-11
* Courtesy of PelitaHidup.comIf you always feel guilty of sin and past mistakes, know that the Bible has a guarantee for you on this point. Believers in Corinth will also fight the same thing at that time. The Apostle Paul gives advice and hope to them - and us - that: "And some of you used to be. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God. "(I Corinthians 6:11)
In the preceding verses, the Apostle Paul writes a list of reprehensible lifestyle that continues to be done by human beings until the end of the modern era. Each week, ministers heard from parishioners who asked whether God forgive them for life in homosexuality, infidelity, handily against a family at home, especially against a life partner or make some other mistake. The answer is "YES", God will forgive you and me. Based says in I John 1: 9, God can and will forgive the sins of believers.
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." I John 1: 9
As believers, we will continue to feel a sense of guilt and bear it until we really understand how God forgives and removes our sins and errors. If we do not understand this, then all the promises and our desire to change and become a better person to be in vain.
Forgiveness is based on the sacrifice of Christ on the cross. He bore the sins and mistakes you and I and died in our place. When we really understand that only Christ who can justify us before God the Father, that's when we are free. We are given a new mindset, a mindset that is guided by the Holy Spirit to focus our attention to God and not to the desires of our worldly.* Courtesy of PelitaHidup.comDo you wake up each morning only to face the day in which you continue to take all the guilt you throughout the day? You do not have to happen that way. God is waiting for you to deliver the loads to Him and He will remove all of the load away from you. All you have to do is hand over the burden to Him and receive His forgiveness.
