Prayer Requests: My Salvation |
I became a christian and was baptized in June 1996. Unfortunatly
in my imperfectness and newness as a christian I allowed myself to become a hypocrite. I studied and read my bible, I attended church faithfully 4 times a week, but I felt that there is no way that I could be forgiven for all my sins and so I continued to go back to some of my sinful ways. This was all several years ago and I have grown as a christian since then. I know my Lord has forgiven me and that he loves me. I am scheduled for surgery and want to know if God has forgiven me for those years that I sinned willfully. I understand that if we ask forgiveness we recieve it. I asked forgiveness for those sins but I am afraid to go into surgery thinking there is something I must do to fix it. Please pray fro my understanding! |

The Word of God says.....you are forgiven. Totally. You have no sin against you in the eyes of the Father. Reason? Jesus our eternal High Priest...who lives to make intercession for us [Heb 7:25]. Notice in that verse that Jesus....SAVES COMPLETELY. He is our advocate. Does He look for ways to disqualify you from your inheritance? NONSENSE! He wants to qualify you, no matter what. All you have to do is repent [Luke 17:3](which sounds like you are doing that, or have done that...otherwise...we would not be having this conversation). Notice that Jesus is asking us to continually forgive our brother? Understanding...we would KNOW our brother on a personal basis, right? Wouldn't Jesus do the same for us? [Acts 26:18] Pay attention to the last one. Jesus is saying...by faith our sins are forgiven. Is not our King, the One that we call upon, perfect to cleanse us of ALL our inequities, sins, transgressions? Are you not calling upon Jesus to forgive you? Have you not forgiven ALL of those who have sinned against you? |
