Repentance And Forgiveness
Isaiah 55:6-7 “Seek the LORD while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon There was a man who was very much loved by his
villagers. But once he did a crime. When the villagers came in search of him he escaped and hid himself in a cave. Days passed by and the villagers came to know that the man was hiding in the cave. Since they loved the man they forgave him and decided to bring him back to the village. Though the villagers repeatedly told him about the danger of the cave, the man refused to come to the village. And one day the people came to know that the man was killed by a lion.
My Dear friends, Jesus loves us and He cares for us . The bible says that “the whole world is in the hands of the wicked” Job 9:24. But God warns us about the consequence of the wickedness that we do.
He wants us to come out of our wickedness and that’s why He says,” Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 1 Peter 5:8. During the day of judegement “each one of us will give an account of himself to God” Says the bible. Today is the day for us to repent from our wickedness. God is watching us. Everything is permissible for us in the world but we must not become slave to anything. 1 Corinthians 6:12 The Lord is mercyful . If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness 1 John 1:9.Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;
