God Has Already Forgiven You

2 CORINTHIANS 5:19 AMPLIFIED 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!

Are Christians Punished For Their Sins???

by Richard Spurlock

Too often I hear people say, "satan is trying to do this or satan did that"... I have even heard Christians say, "satan is trying to kill me!!", "satan made me sick"... PEOPLE, satan does not have that kind of power UNLESS GOD Allows It to Happen... satan's powers are limited to his lying to us, his tempting us, his misleading us, his distracting us and his turning others against us...

Look at the life of Job... Only when GOD gave satan to go ahead did bad things start to happen is Job's Life...

How often we give satan credit for things that go wrong and giving satan poweres that he does not have... In Matthew 5:45 JESUS said, "That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust". In other words, Good things happen to GOD's Children and LOST PEOPLE of the World and BAD Things both to Good and Bad People...

I have been Blessed on days that I am not proud of and Disaster has fallen on my most perfect days as a Christian...

I find it hard to believe that GOD would punish HIS Children every time they did something wrong, and more so when they refuse to repent of their sins... HE may however make you wait for a blessing or two... And yet, Christians will testify that GOD is punishing them for their wrong doings or Others will ask, "What did you do wrong?", "Why are you being punished?"...

WHY Do You Even Listen To satan??? satan can only do to you what YOU Allow him to do... Without YOUR Participation, satan is POWERLESS!!!

GOD Punishment for sin - like during to Old Testament Days... I would imagine that few of us could even handle it...

GOD Punishment will come soon enough for the unjust, the unsaved, when it is too late to do anything about it...

As for the Children of GOD, JESUS PAID THE PRICE... Nuff Said...
