Why Bother?

Have you felt that way. How can I ask God for forgiveness when, even as I’m saying the words, I know that I’m going to do it again?

Unfaithfulness

Sexually disoriented

Dishonest

Resentment

Discontent

Guilt

Fear

Anger and rage

These things and more dog the human race. Spiritual seekers wonder to themselves, “Could God ever forgive me?”

Paul, gives us the answer. “He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all — how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?” Romans 8:32

God did not send Jesus into the world to condemn us. Jesus came to earth to provide a means for our forgiveness. He is not going to go through all that and then withhold forgiveness.

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins.” 1^st John 1:9

When we reach out to God with our guilt, He reaches back to us with love, mercy grace and forgiveness. He removes real guilt from our lives "as far as the east is from the west." 

“So we can come boldly and with confidence to the throne of grace where we can find mercy and receive grace in our time of need.” Hebrews 4:16

What kind of person would reject that kind of love?
