Why Is Forgiveness So Important?

We need forgiveness because without it we can not enter Heaven and we need forgiveness because sin separates us from God.  And forgiveness only comes through Jesus Christ.

“Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit. For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.  For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up^[b] as by the heat of summer. Selah“

“I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and you forgave the iniquity of my sin”. -Psalm 32:1-5

In Jesus’ Name.  Amen (so be it).

When Jesus came, as a people, we had slid so far away from God.  We had immersed ourselves in sin and darkness.  God sent Jesus to Rescue us and we were desperately in need of rescue!

In looking around our country, indeed the world, it has grown dark. But we can still call upon Jesus for forgiveness. We can still call upon our Father and we can turn and walk towards the light that He provides!

God created light!  And God has surrounded us by light.  Picture the sun.  We can barely look at at the sun directly because it is so bright. And yes, God’s light is even brighter than the sun!  And yet if we choose, every time we look at the sun, we can be reminded that our Lord is with us.  Even in the dark of night, God did not leave us in complete darkness.  Instead, God created the moon and the stars!  Then there is the beautiful light that dances on the water or shines upon the trees and flowers.  There is the light of a Rainbow, reminding us that God Always Keeps His Promises. There is Christ’s light that is so often reflected in the face of a believer.  Wherever we are, if we choose, we can see light and be reminded that God is here-with us!

Many are drawn to God’s light, but sadly, some are drawn to darkness.  However, no matter which we are drawn to-it’s our choice which way we choose to go.  And no matter which we feel drawn too, we can choose Christ 🙂

While there is still time, Choose Christ, before it is too late!
