forgiveness of sins

Someone challenged me yesterday to look at what I have been sharing on the subject of God’s forgiveness of sins, and to look for positive remarks I have made concerning our Lord’s forgiveness of our sins. So, I am accepting that challenge and I am combing through my recent documents to see what...

I’m sharing this here with you from my time of personal devotions with my Lord Jesus Christ, for your encouragement. Sue Love Psalms 103:11-18 ESV “For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west...

I’m sharing this here with you from my time of personal devotions with my Lord Jesus Christ, for your encouragement. Sue Love Zephaniah 3:14-17 ESV “Sing aloud, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel! Rejoice and exult with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem! The Lord has taken away...

Colossians 1:13-14 ESV “He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” When we believe in Jesus Christ to be Lord and Savior of our lives, God the Father delivers us from the domain of...

Ephesians 1:1-2 ESV “Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are in Ephesus, and are faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.” As we read through this passage of Scripture today I want us to pay close...

I was on Facebook today. A friend of mine posted a short video talk by Pastor Jim Cymbala, of the Brooklyn Tabernacle. Pastor Cymbala posted it on his Facebook page three days ago, so that should be on February 17, 2022, since today is February 20, 2022. The talk is addressed to Christians. If...

Colossians 2:8 ESV “See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.” If we are following Jesus Christ with our lives wholeheartedly, if we are walking in...

From the Domain of Darkness Colossians 1:13-14 ESV “He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” The modern gospel being taught today does not teach this. It teaches that Jesus died...

So Walk in Him Colossians 2:6-7 ESV “Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.” Believing in Jesus Christ is not about just being saved from our sins so that...

Psalms 103:1-5 ESV “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with...

Isn't it amazing how God speaks to us in our devotional time, often in the scripture we read. Today I read this; "For the Lord our God is gracious and compassionate, and will not turn His face away from you if you return to Him." 2 Chronicles 30:9b Wow! What a verse, which was...

Do you have to keep confessing sin through out your life to be saved? I believe based on the Bible that the answer to this question would be a resounding.... "Yes." This is based primarily upon 1 John 1:9 (But we can see it expressed in other verses in the Bible). What do you say? And can you...

It's a little confusing to me to understand the process. Can someone explain this?

Hey everyone. I write this as someone who is, as the title of this post proclaims, at rock bottom and completely beaten down. I have messed up my life completely. I was brought up Christian and have always believed however I was baptised by full water immersion about a decade or so ago and for...

If you don’t use the power I gave you, I will not use my power to save you. Did God give us the power to forgive so we would be able to receive it ourselves? He gives us the power to forgive others so he can forgive us. Surely God could just say, your forgiven and be done with it. But he...

With millions of people being deprived of the love of God and the saving knowledge of Christ day in and day out, is it okay for the churches to advertise to reach the unreached with the whole purpose of saving the souls and letting them know that God loves them and that there is forgiveness of...

This, then is the one and only definition for sin, refusing the guidance of The Holy Spirit. This passage sums up the intended influence of the Holy Spirit: Jesus declared, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest...

Hi! I'm completely new to this forum, and I am looking for advice on how to appropriately handle a situation. The sins of my past have revealed themselves, and I have no idea how to face the consequences regarding the people I hurt in my life. Back in the day, I met a girl who introduced me to...

Can someone please provide a list of methods, by which, venial sins are removed? Also I'm confused about certain practices in the mass, I've heard some people say things like, the penitential rite removes venial sins, while others say they don't. Can someone please sort all this out?

Hello, I have two prayer requests regarding confession: 1. That the correct formula for absolution be firmly established in my diocese. Without this I can do nothing, so this one is most urgent. 2. The I make a good General Confession. I plan on making a General Confession this Easter Season...
