STEEMCHURCH - Does God want me back?

It's valid that you have sinned "excessively." So have I; so has everyone:

"Whoever keeps the entire law but stumbles at just one point is blameworthy of breaking every last bit of it." (James 2:10, emphasis mine)

Each sin is an immediate offense to God. Regardless of whether we don't have the foggiest idea about the Bible, or the specifics of God's ethical law, we sin at whatever point we do what our conscience tells us not to do. God put a conscience in each person, so when we sin, it's what might as well be called spitting in God's face and saying, "I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU'RE STUPID LAW SAYS, I'M GOING TO BREAK IT!!"

For us humans, this becomes a lifestyle. One "little" sin leads to another (it was somewhat fun the first run through, wasn't it?), "little" sins prompt "greater" sins, our conscience becomes more blunt and more blunt after some time, and we mind less and less if what we do is off-base.

In the end, this sort of life always leads to inward emptiness (however the outward appearance of your life might be entirely great, or it may be quite terrible), and piles and piles of blame you can't dispose of.

Possibly you've officially attempted psychological enable, psychic to help, or religion (perhaps you are even a Christian!), yet at the same time nothing takes away your sense of despair. Furthermore, a scripture like Romans 2:5 is very little solace:

"Because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up fierceness against yourself for the day of God's anger, when his righteous judgment will be uncovered."

The future doesn't look much better, does it?

Presently about that other half...

Evidently you surmise that your sins are so ghastly that God will never excuse you.

Indeed, I prefer not to break this to you, however at the present time you have a quite small perspective of God. In case you didn't have even an inkling, a definitive purpose of Jesus' execution was to take the punishment for "the sin of the world!" (John 1:29) If you have sinned, and you are a piece of "the world," Jesus kicked the bucket to take the judgment that you deserve.

In the event that you could stack up the sins of as long as you can remember (counting the ones you will submit later on), how enormous would the stack be? Think about some other spoiled individuals, and envision their sins all stacked over yours.

At that point include every one of the sins of the general population you believe are "quite great" on the outside, however have serious problems on the inside. At that point include all the so-called "nearly nothing" sins of those individuals you believe are "better than average."

Oh, and keep in mind to include the sins of the considerable number of individuals who have lived in the past, and every one of those who will live later on. How huge is the stack now?

Presently let me add one idea to this entire picture:

"Where sin increased, beauty increased all the more ..." (Romans 5:20)

"Beauty" is simply God's kindness toward individuals who don't deserve it.

It is highly unlikely you could do what's necessary acts of kindness to pay for your own particular sins. It would resemble endeavoring to pay off a million dollar obligation when the sum total of what you have is a Mastercard, and no salary.

God is the special case who can pay off your obligation; on the off chance that you have a million dollar sin obligation, He will give you a trillion dollar forgiveness check, and increasingly on the off chance that you require it.

How might you get this sort of blessing? Here's the ticket:

Concede you require forgiveness, and lots of it!

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of paradise."

(Matthew 5:3)

Disclose to God you know how awful your sin condition is.

"On the off chance that we confess our sins, he is devoted and just and will pardon our sins and refine us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9)

Perceive that the passing of Jesus Christ is the main thing that can fix things up amongst you and God.

"There is one God and one middle person amongst God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who have himself as a ransom for all men..." (1 Timothy 2:5-6)

On the off chance that you have done this, understand your judgment has officially occurred, and you have been proclaimed "not liable!"

"Since we have been justified [declared "not guilty"] through confidence, we have tranquility with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained entrance by confidence into this elegance in which we now stand ..." (Romans 5:1-2)
