Accepting Forgiveness

Dear soldiers in Christ, after many busy days and nights, I decided to encourage you with a verse! I'll be talking about "Accepting Forgiveness"!

From the book of 1 John 1:9, it says "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."

You see, God doesn't just forgive us; He purifies us too! That means that He washes away whatever sins we confess, scrubs our hearts clean and forgets about our sin forever! Here's a tip: If God forgets about a sin, you should forget about it too! But of course, learn from your mistakes at the same time! Don't keep beating yourself up over something you've been forgiven for! Do what you need to do to make things right! Apologize to anyone you might have hurt by your actions and seek their forgiveness... and then move on!

Remember, our God forgives us because He loves us unconditionally! So the next time you screw up and mess up badly, go to God for forgiveness and don't keep lingering on the sin! Why most of the times we feel as if the guilt of the sin is still hanging on us even after we ask for forgiveness, it's actually satan telling you that you're too guilty and God still have not forgiven you fully! Satan will tell you lies, saying that you've messed up too badly that even God don't want to forgive you. But the truth is, we can never sin more than God can forgive! So don't believe satan's lies; use the Word of God to counter the lies whenever you encounter them!

I hope you're encouraged by this encouragement! Have a nice day and God bless you! =)
