Faithful Friday’s

JoyButton

I have been away a few weeks. I come here with plans, but something keeps me from my blog and blogland. Be sure to click the photo to be taken to other Faith Friday blogs…

But I was refusing to allow that again this week…..

This is something that some may not agree with, but it’s on my heart to share.

So today a friend and I were together. We got on the subject of “Dooms Day” and I basically said the date from the mayan calendar was issued before our current calendar, so it’s already passed. She looks at me and says “I am so glad, I thought I’d be going to hell soon”. I couldn’t not believe what she was saying, and I’m like honey why? She is because I can’t be forgiven. I’m like a sin is a sin, we are all sinners, and are able to get to Heaven. She can’t believe it. And says, but it’s adultery and so I can’t be! With tears in both our eyes (for different reasons), I was shocked. My sweet friend, really believes she can not make it to Heaven over a mistake she has made. So I tell her, she can and how. But this is really troubling me, how many others, and others that I know, think they can not make it to Heaven, over something in their past…. How many believe that their sin is too big!

So I am here to tell you today that you can make it to Heaven! You just have to pray and ask Jesus into your heart, and accept him as your Lord and Savior. And accept we are all sinners and ask for forgiveness.

Here’s a few scriptures I hope to help you see, we are all sinners and God forgives our sins….

Romans 3:23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.

1 John 1:7-9 But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin. Ife we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.

1 Corinthians 15:57 But Thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 8:1 So now there is condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.

I really hope and pray that this helps you, anyone out there, know you are able to be forgiven! I hope you see we all are sinners, and can see sin is forgiven by God.

Hugs and Blessings to all! Remember we are all forgiven!

Such a beautiful and heartfelt post...full of the TRUTH, too!

I know many Christians/Catholics too that get hung up on past sins. And even though they technically "know" that they're forgiven, they can't seem to forgive themselves. But that's the thing...by not forgiving themselves, they basically are saying that GOD is not big enough or merciful enough to forgive us...

While it's true that our GOD is a just GOD, he is also a merciful ONE! We must just have faith and believe!

Miss your blogging so much! I know you've got your hands full!
