My Sins

  •    I read a blog and I'm thinking that it address's our sins Jesus gave his life long ago for our sin's a lot of ministers don't like the facr that people know this because people may think that it's ok my sins are paid for.

     

       On the contrary, salvation is an appeal to God for cleansing from sin, forgiveness, and repentance so that we might not sin.  This appeal is a heartfelt confession of our hopelessness before God and an acceptance of Jesus' sacrifice on our behalf.  It is simultaneous with sincere repentance which is a turning from sin, not to it.

     

       To receive Jesus in our hearts means we have first acknowledged that we are sinners and that we are incapable of saving ourselves or of appeasing God in any way. We acknowledge before God that we are helpless and worthy of damnation. But with this, we also acknowledge that Jesus is the one who paid the penalty for our sins. We realize that there is no possible way that we can make things right with God by our own works.  When we accept Jesus as our Savior we are accepting the call to repentance from sin. God then calls us His children:  "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name," (John 1:12).
