Jesus is all merciful. He is always willing to forgive and always willing to embrace us from our own failures. He is full of Love the only thing we need is to ask for forgiveness and repent. I believe most of the believers of Christ know that. We are sure how the grace of God had changed us and gave us hope, Redeemed us from our sins. We are so inspired of many testimonies of this time and in the bible of how the power of Love of God gave us the chance to change our life and be healed. We all have heard how the merciful heart of Jesus forgave those who broke the law of His time, that is "grace"! Grace supercedes the law it did not replace the law. So, it is for God to forgive us and it is our side to keep ourselves from honoring that mercy and grace given not to have a mindset that we are OK to sin because God will forgive us. That is TWISTED! I guess we all loved the story of the woman who commit adultery wherein Jesus asked: "Whoever of you here who do not have any sin throw the stone first!" It was a meaningful moment. Jesus did not broke the law of letting the woman skip judgement but to receive grace she deserves from God, He introduce grace. It is all we have when we fall short in the glory of God. Yeah! We all love that part but we often not magnify what Jesus said after He forgave the woman. John 8:10-11New King James Version (NKJV)10 When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” 11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.” Jesus said: GO AND SIN NO MORE! Jesus healed a man in the pool of bethesda and He said again; "Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. (John 5:14) Do I need to highlight it even more? True, salvation is free and we don't really need to do anything but Believe and accept. What actually we need to consider big time is what are we going to do after we receive the gift of salvation. Will you use it as an excuse to sin continiously? Will you be just be comfortable being save and remain satisfied of you alone being saved, "Just good enough!" Or, will you be thankful to God in everyday and always desire to bring glory to God? Which one are you? |
