F is for Forgiveness
How good is our God!! I am forever grateful to my Savior Jesus Christ for His forgiveness. He died for us for all our sins forever! Nothing we have done, are doing now, or will ever do will be held against us.....EVER!
Isn't that GOOD NEWS?!! I am so thankful for that forgiveness and mercy. God is so good to us.
This news should never make us callous or hard hearted towards God....it should bring us closer to Jesus. His love for us brings us to Him. His forgiveness to us is precious.
It keeps us from judging others, as well. When we know how much we have been forgiven of...and only WE know that.....well, it keeps us from wanting to cast stones at anyone else.
We have no business looking down at anyone else, no matter WHAT has been done by them. It may be a heinous thing they did, and we don't have to be friends with them, but we MUST know that Jesus forgave them as well. All they need do is ask for that like we did. And it is done. Finished.
Sorry to burst any bubbles here, but sin is sin. There is no 'bigger' sin than another.
When we put that into perspective, it humbles us into a loving, kind, forgiving person. Rids us of hate and condemnation.
Our God is AMAZING!!!
He is indeed! Great post today, Linda!
