Sin and God's Love



For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. (John 3:16, 17 NIV)

Sin
-doing what's not right
-thought that we have
-anger thought through people
-attitude we have (hatred, bitterness and etc)

Man is sinful with all this dots in our life

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, (Romans 3:23 NIV)

But Jesus came to put things right

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9 NIV)

Jesus took all our sins upon himself and re-new and restore us. Given to will to overpower sins. Why would Jesus do that?

It's because of God's love and grace.
Man kind can't save themselves. That's why God send his only son to save us.

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8 NIV)

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— (Ephesians 2:8 NIV)

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6 NIV)

God gave us things that we need. They were made available but it's our choice to receive it or to ignore it. It's individual view to decide how will those available be used and utilize; whether to honor God or to honor self.

Jesus did not come for Good people. It come for everyone whether how ugly or how good you are. Human always have weakness but tends to cover them up by portrait a strong and better life but when inner heart felt insecure and upset.

Faith is learning to trust and try it out.
If you are willing to trust, Jesus is there for you.

Things and history of us are like files been filed in a room which categories with everything we ever did. But Jesus have taken it all to allow us to start again. Why suffer in the power of sin? When we can laid them down in Jesus and be forgiven. Don't let the past determine the present us. By receiving Christ we can born new and file the future life with God.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! (2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV)
