Forgiveness to be earned by sinners but we are only forgiven if we ask.Forgiveness would be considered only properly exercised if forgiveness is requested in a sincere apology and it often requires some sort of promises that the offending act or bad behavior will not be repeated....and that we have hope to live in paradise of God and have eternal life.
May 01, 2007 How does being forgiven increase ones love for God?According from Jesus,God`s forgiveness is motivated by love.
This is a personal reminder that everyone should take to the heart.Do not forget all God`s benefits.These benefits deep within our memory.God Forgives all our sins.At the top of our list we find our greatest need-THE FORGIVENESS OF ALL OUR SINS.As l journey along in my life, from the time of my birth to the time of my death, l need to remember the fact that l am sinners and l have sinned.As long as l live in this earth, l am now guilty of sin.l need to remember that ``there is no one who does good, no not one ''Romans 3:12''.But l also remember that God forgives all my sins.The Lord takes our sins and put them away from Him forever.He did this through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.Remember that God forgives all our sins.Not just some of them but all of them.Notice the word ``forgives`` is the present tense.This simply means that God not only forgiven the sins of the past, the sins of yesteryears, but He continually forgives our sins in the present and He will continue to forgive our sins in the future.God only gives us all these blessings out of His love and compassion.The Lord`s forgiveness is motivated purely out of His great and amazing love for us.l have nothing to say except praising Him and loving Him above all things.
