Forgiveness

These past two weeks have been all about change for my friends and family. God is good, all the time, and we are doing well. Because of all the changes in our life it started me thinking about this idea of new beginnings in general.

We can all appreciate new beginnings and starting off with a clean slate. In our relationship with God He calls us to obedience in following His standards. We all fall short but praise God He has made a provision for forgiveness.

 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

What if you violated God’s standards? 

Here's four things that the Bible instructs us to do:

1. Repent – agree with God and change

2. Receive forgiveness – restoration and release of your sin

3. Refocus and replace sinful activities with Godly ones

4. Request help daily – God is faithful


God’s way is always the best way!

Amen?
