Forgiveness: How Forgiving Are You? by Sknda(m): 5:27pm On Nov 23, 2013
Unforgiveness makes a believer to be rebranded as a wicked fellow by the Lord.The one who was once justified is now classed as wicked.The wicked is a believer who has dumped righteousness for the works of the flesh,while still attempting to run the christian race.Another lesson here is that God forgives us because we asked Him.This spiritual principle negates the error of some teachings that the blood of Jesus Christ continues to wash away your sins after you are born again,even without confessing them.This is a misinterpretation of 1 John 1:7.
   Any sin you fail to acknowledge and confess before God after becoming a believer will automatically be recorded against you.As long as you satisfy Heaven's conditions of desiring to remain in the light of Christ and continue to fellowship with the brethren,you will be open to cleansing from Calvary's flow when you mistakenly fall into sin and genuinely repent.Are you sweeping any sin under the carpet? You are not yet forgiven.Confess it fast! Another lesson here is that God forgives us so that we can forgive others.God led only by example and He expects you to follow his steps.If you still struggle with forgiving your offenders, something is very wrong.It is either you are not born again, ignorant or your Christian foundation is defective.Forgive because you were forgiven.DON'T wait till your offenders deserve to be forgiven, God forgave you out of mercy not because you deserve it.Read Ephesians 4:24-32 later.Stay cool and enjoy your day.God Bless You.
