God Forgives Sin

"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God."  Romans 3:23.  Sin is a universal condition.  One commits sin when God's law is transgressed.  Sin will enslave.  Sin will separate us from God.  Sin will ruin one's character.  Sin will scar the conscience.  Sin will cause one to be eternally lost.  But, God forgives sin.  Sin can be forgiven because of God's love.  Sin can be forgiven because of God's grace.  Sin can be forgiven because of the blood of Jesus Christ.  The message of the gospel is the good news of forgiveness.  All people can be forgiven.  Any sin can be forgiven.  God longs to forgive.  Forgiveness is God's work.  But, we must respond in obedience unto God so that we might receive forgiveness.  Forgiveness will come when we confess our sins.  I John 1:9.  Forgiveness will take place when we repent.  Luke 13:3-5.  When we are baptized into Jesus Christ, all sin is removed.  Acts 22:16.  Forgiveness brings about a relationship with God.  Forgiveness makes us the sons of God.  Forgiveness brings peace and hope.  Forgiveness is God's offer of eternal life.  Seek His forgiveness now.
