Weekend
Gospel message to follow for All Hands (01-03MAR19)
Heads-Up --- Please find enclosed encouragement in "SO GREAT SALVATION" by the perfect and finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ in saving poor, needy and wretched sinners by His sovereign free grace -God's unmerited favor- from their sins and from Hell:
“Blessed
is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed
is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose
spirit there is no guile.” -Psalm
32:1-2 [KJV]
One
unpardoned sin would destroy a soul forever. Many words in Scripture
point towards forgiveness, such as: grace, mercy, peace with God, not
imputing iniquity, taking away sin, bearing sin, making an end of
transgression, covering sin, forgetting sin, not remembering
iniquity, washing, cleansing and removing sin, casting it into the
sea, or behind the back, scattering it like a cloud, burying it,
blotting it out, pardoning it.
The
forgiveness of sins is free. It is “without money and without
price” (Isaiah 55:1).
We can do nothing to merit it, or prepare ourselves for it. When God
pardons, He pardons: all sins, original sin and actual sin, sins of
omission and of commission, secret and open sins, sins of thought,
word and deed. To those who believe in Jesus, all is freely forgiven.
Full pardon, or none at all, is what God gives. Nor is this gift ever
revoked by God. When He forgives, He forgives forever!
