There is Forgiveness

These are some of the greatest words of hope ever spoken, “There is forgiveness.”  What a terrible place to be if there was no hope, and what would be the purpose of life if there is nothing but nothing, as the evolutionists teach?  I listen to debates between creationists and evolutionists and the evolutionists’ theories and their way of thinking is so empty, while the creationists’ view is so positive and full of hope, but more importantly it is the truth.  Did you know it takes more faith to be an atheist than a believer?

Archeologists have proven many of the things that are in God’s Word, but what evolution has proven is nothing, it is all theory.  The Word of God declares this, and it is the truth, in Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth,” and it goes on to say what else He created; read the whole chapter.  I challenge anyone to read this in the Word with an open mind and a true desire to know the truth, asking God to open your eyes and mind and reveal the truth to you and see what happens.

Then read chapter 3 in Genesis which helps you see why we are all in the condition we are in.  We are all born with a sin nature because of what took place in the Garden of Eden.  The Word of God says that we have all sinned and fell short of the glory of God.  It also says that there is none righteous, no not one.  God is so righteous that He cannot even look at sin, so sin separates us from this holy God.  Many say that God isn’t fair or just, because we didn’t ask for the condition we were born in.  God is just, because He provided a way for us to be right with Him when there was no way and we were doomed to destruction, death and hell.  We could never be in right standing with God by our own efforts and He knew that, so He, because He is a just God and the only true God, provided a way for us to be right with Him.

Just to make this clear, about our birth condition, read Romans 5:12, “Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned.“

And this was God’s way for us to be right with Him, read Romans 5:6-11, “For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.”

God loved mankind so much that He provided a way for us to escape His just wrath, please read John 3:17-21, “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”

These are the very words that Jesus spoke and Jesus faithfully fulfilled these truths by giving His life freely because no one could have taken His life, that’s how much He loved us.

In 1 John 1:9, it says this, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”  Although we were sinners, Christ died for us so that we could become the righteousness of Christ.  Like I said earlier, these are some of the greatest words of hope ever spoken, “There is forgiveness.”

Read Isaiah 1:18, “‘Come now, and let us reason together,’ says the Lord, ‘Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.’”  This was spoken to the Jews at the time but I think it could relate to all non-believers also.

Read 2 Peter 3:8-9 “But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”

Enough said, if you would like this hope and are not a believer, or born-again, repent of your sins which means to turn and go in the other direction showing that you’re sorry for your sins and ask the Lord to forgive you and to be your Lord and Savior.  If you are sincere, I believe that He will do just that and you will become a child of God, praise the Lord!!  Take your time and let the good Lord fill you with His peace, love and joy, then go and share what the Lord has done for you with others and start growing in your new found faith!!  Don’t forget to thank and praise the Lord.  May you have a super and blessed day!  P.S. Something to think about!!
