I John 1:9- If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
I want to walk in real repentance. I truly want to receive the free gift of forgiveness that God is willing to give to us. I don't understand how He is able to forgive me, how he is able to look past all the wrong that I've done, but He freely gives forgiveness to me. Ladies and Gentlemen I went to church today and I really was down; especially knowing the things I've done in secret, but the message that my pastor preached today really spoke into my life. Well it started when the people began to worship God through their hurt. Right after altar call people just started to praise God, I wanted to sit down and not even open my mouth, but to hear the sincere praise and worship from the people of God moved me to begin to confess to God, to open my mouth, to just worship Him. I felt so free. I know that I'm prone to fall, but this time around I'm hoping that I won't fall so freely. I'm hoping that this time around I will flee from temptation, I would read and study the Word, and I would begin to pray. I'm so amazed that Christ would love me enough to give his life for me; no he gave his life to the entire world, and the most powerful part about it is that he gave it for free. Furthermore he doesn't force himself on anyone, you choose Christ, you choose to live forever, you choose the Son of God, or you don't. I pray that people would choose Him and that the Christians around the world would begin to present the true loving Christ. The compassionate Christ, the forgiving Christ, the saving Christ, the kind Christ, the Christ that speaks to the Father on our behalf, and the Jesus Christ that told us to love your neighbor as you love yourself.
The forgiveness that I need is the one that comes from above... Forgive me Lord Jesus for all my sins. Whether sins of thought, word, or deed; Father God the Forgiveness I need is the forgiveness that comes from You.
II Peter 3:9-10: The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness, but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (10)- But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night: in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
