Forgive Us Our Sins

Matthew 6:9-13-"Pray like this: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come soon. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us today the food we need, and FORGIVE US OUR SINS, as we forgive those who sin against us. And don't let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one."

Psalm 103:11-12-"For his unfailing love toward those who fear him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth. He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west."

Forgiveness is a powerful thing. Through the Holy blood of Jesus Christ, God made a way for us to be forgiven and made right with Him. Our old ways pass away and His new life becomes ours. Why does God forgive us? Because He is love. Love keeps no record of being wronged. :) This is the Good News of Jesus Christ! All who believe and are forgiven may enter into heaven to share in the glory of the Most High God!

1 John 1:9-"But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all wickedness."

Something that is helpful to me sometimes is when I fell like I've sinned a lot recently, I do something that I read at my cousin's church lock-in. If you are feeling guilty of many sins, put your hands on your eyes. Ask God to forgive you of all the wrong things you've seen. Put your hands on your mouth. Ask God to forgive you of all the wrong things that have come in our out of your mouth. Put your hands on your ears. Ask God to forgive you of all the wrong things you've allowed yourself to hear. Put your hands on your head. Ask God to forgive you of all the wrong things you've thought or planned. Put your hands together. Ask God to forgive you of all the times you've done things that weren't His will. Finally, put your hand on your heart. Ask God to forgive you of all the times you put other things before Him and dishonored Him with your heart. Ask all of this in the name of Jesus Christ, and you will be forgiven. :)

Luke 5:20-"Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the man, 'Young man, your sins are forgiven.'"

Go in peace! Your sins are forgiven by faith. If you want to read more about this, read Romans! :) Keep Measuring Up. You are loved.
