Topic:
The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
    (Forgiveness By Grace)

Dear friends of Jesus. Good day to you.

In today's soul bread we are looking at the truth that you are forgiven all your sins based on the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Consider this scripture below:

"in Him we have redemption through His blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins, ACCORDING TO THE RICHES OF HIS GRACE."
(Ephesians 1:7-NKJV).

Dear friend,in the previous soul bread parts, we have established the truth that all your sins:past,present,and future have all been forgiven. That is why the scripture above says we have the forgiveness of sins.

But most of us Christians think it is until we confess our sins that God will then forgive us. In fact many Christians even think that if we do not confess ALL our sins God will not forgive us. So we can as well think that if we committed five sins and confess four, God will not forgive that remaining one! And so we think God forgives us "IN INSTALMENTS"--bit by bit.

Friends,that is not true. Because God said "their sins and their lawless deeds i will remember no more"(Hebrews 8:12):you already have the forgiveness of your sins(Ephesians1:7).

Since God has blessed you with the total forgiveness of the sins of your entire life once and for all, when did that happen?,It happened when you received Jesus Christ as your Lord ,confessed your sins(1st John 1:9),and asked Him to be your savior. Since that day He has forgiven you all the sins of your entire life!

So now you don't need to be confessing your sins all the way,one by one, thinking that the forgiveness of your sins depends on your confession of sins,whereas the bible says it depends on the riches of His Grace -- unmerited,unearned favor: you cannot "merit " it by own efforts of always trying to confess your sins.

To be continued...

God bless you.

Hebrews 10:10
Luke 23:34
