19 It was God (personally present) in Christ, reconciling and
restoring the world to favor with Himself, not counting up and
holding against [men] their trespasses [but cancelling them];
and committing to us the message of reconciliation -- of the
restoration to favor.
A popular idea is that God is really mad at people and can
hardly wait to punish them for their sins.
The truth is that God has already forgiven people. Now you must
accept His forgiveness to enjoy a restored relationship with
Him.
What a shame it is that people are estranged from God and go
without His help and blessing -- simply because they think God
is against them and would have nothing to do with them.
1 JOHN 2:12 NKJ
12 I write to you, little children, because your sins are
forgiven you for His name's sake.
No matter what you have done -- God has already forgiven you!
More than forgiven -- you are loved!
Forgiving you was God's idea -- you do not have to convince
Him. You must believe God forgave you and thank Him.
Jesus Christ already paid the price for all your sins -- and
God is no longer holding any sin against you! You have been
forgiven.
SAY THIS: Thank You Father God for forgiving me! Thank You Jesus!
