All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name. Acts 10:43 NIV
If you don't know it yet, you can receive forgiveness. Oh, you're exactly right if your thinking that I don't know your past. I don't. And, thankfully, you don't know mine.
You could be reading this from prison right now, as you serve on death row. You could be in the middle of an adulterous affair. You could be cheating on your taxes; stealing from your company; living a lie. You could have committed sins to horrible to even mention to your spouse.
Whatever you've done, or are doing, it doesn't change this verse, and it doesn't change God's grace! You can be forgiven of your sins through Jesus Christ!
In fact, that is why He came. He didn't come just so we could have a Christmas holiday. He came because you and I are sinners, and we need salvation. He came to give us new life.
Forgiveness comes when we humbly as Him to forgive. It's that simple, yet it is one of the most powerful acts of His grace.
Is there anything for which you need forgiveness? Ask Him for it today! Then accept His free gift of forgiveness!
What a wonderful way to start a new year!
