If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9

How forgiven are you? Would you agree that God has forgiven you of most of your sins or all of them? Sadly, many Christians go through life, recalling their worst sin, and the guilt associated with it keeps them bound from the freedom Christ promises us in today’s scripture. That is exactly Satan’s way of keeping you from becoming who God wants you to be through the freedom He has provided you on behalf of His Son, Jesus Christ.

Jesus paid the price for ALL of mankind’s sin. There is no sin committed that the blood of Jesus Christ can’t wash away. The perfect example was the man crucified next to Christ. That criminal knew who Jesus was and asked that He remember Him upon his death. Jesus said….today, you will be with Me in Paradise (Luke 23:42-43). Just a few hours before his death, this man accepted Christ and Jesus gave Him eternal hope.

Maybe you’ve done some pretty bad things in life. The guilt you are carrying with you is nothing God intended for His children to bare. Trust me friend, Jesus promises to forgive you of all sins. No sin is too big for Him to forgive. Once you’ve asked forgiveness, do your best to avoid that sin and keep your eyes focused on Him, the author and perfecter of your faith! God bless!
