GO TO A CHURCH WHETHER YOU ARE DOING GOOD OR BAD THINGS
No matter what happens in my life, my saviour is Jesus Christ. Christ encourages the sinner to come close to him so he can forgive his/her sins. Baptism means to repent of your sins and lead a good life but I agree we fall every day. That is why we need communion, bread and wine so we can be forgiven. Yes Jesus requires us to act with compassion to even the most violent criminal because even they need love. Crime results from a cycle of violent abuse, where the children could only learn violence to survive. God is love. Everyone needs to be forgiven. That is why we need to be compassionate to the needy and the poor. We can`t do that without God`s forgiveness. Christ is the unblemished lamb sacrificed so our sins could be forgiven. There is no other sacrifice higher. God commends those who give their lives to save others. Christ came to save those who are sick and ill. Therefore the righteous need to clothe, feed and shelter the sick and ill because as you have done to one of this brothers or sisters you have actually done the same to Jesus Christ. You are no longer a goat but a sheep. You are no longer a weed but wheat. The angels are coming to sift the wheat from the weeds. The weeds will go to eternal destruction in the lake of fire. The wheat go to heaven to live with God in eternal bliss.

When a person accepts God`s forgiveness for their sins, their love for God is increased because of gratitude. Before being forgiven a person feels heaviness, guilt and shame. Being forgiven offers freedom, hope and peace.

God Forgives You, If You Ask
Christianity is all about BELIEF. Belief in our Lord Jesus Christ and BELIEF in all HIS PROMISES. Which means that we should have the FAITH in HIM and His WORD. With faith if you ask Jesus to forgive your sins, He will forgive. Consequently, one feels elated to serve such a God. All are sinful and there is none born of flesh and blood who does not sin, everyday in their thoughts, words or deeds. Jesus wants us to riseup and go to Him every time we fall and He is ever willing to forgive us. Thanks to God; this is His unending LOVE and MERCY towars us.

How does being forgiven increase ones love for God? Note: According to Jesus, God`s forgiveness is motivated by love.
That this life is a test which will distinguish the good from the bad among people is certainly a fact. That God needs to test us is wrong, because God does not need to know anything about us as a race or a species, or as individuals. His knowledge is absolute, which means that it is perfect and does not increase as a result of any event or any occurrence. He knows everything before it takes place. The joy of being forgiven, not only of behavior but also of the sin deep in our hearts, will increase our desire to love ''Luke. 7:47''. And an increase in a desire to love will deepen our desire to see beauty enhanced in everyone whom we have the pleasure and privilege to encounter. Sin is reproach and brings a lot of destruction to one, sin makes us uncomfortable and deprive of from been bold in self expressions and we feel shame of our self in all things but when we are been forgiven we began to experience the inner freedom and a new self all together,,.. Above all things one that I know that forgiveness of sin grants us peace of mind and that brings out the love for God. God has given us means and methods to seek His forgiveness of our bad deeds, and He has promised to forgive those who seek His forgiveness after repenting, He bestows on them His mercy.

Wages for sin is death. A murderer will be hang to death for life his taken. And in the mind of the murderer is only regret, sadness, revenge and so much hateness. BUT what if the Judge forgive him and release him so he can build a new life? Forgive someone who murder your love one is something that no one in this world cannot do. But ONLY He will. He will forgive us even we make Him died on cross and give his left cheek after we slap his right cheek. Even we do sin over and over again He still forgive us. He is waiting for us to ask for forgiveness. From forgiveness he gave to me rise my love to Him. And thats why my love increase for God everyday.

God`s love
Once you realize that God loves you no matter what you have done, you learn to forgive. Once you forgive, you can fully appreciate Gods` love. The greatest commandments are to love God and love your neighbour. Once you love God the second commandment becomes easier. Feeling the prescence of God is feeling the prescence of love.

How does being forgiven increase one`s love for God? And how do Jesus` words make you feel?
I think the more we realize our need for forgiveness, the more we appreciate how much we have been forgiven. The more we realize how desperate we are without God`s help, the more we understand that our very best efforts still fall short of His original, wonderful design for us, the more grateful we become that He has bridged that gap for us. If we really understand what Jesus has forgiven for us, and to what length He has gone to accomplish that forgiveness, and the ocean of love that motivates Him to do it, we will be overcome by thankfulness, and respond to this love which satisfies the deepest longing of our soul. In the Luke 7:47 passage we read this week, Jesus is responding to the judgmental Pharisees around him, who are disgusted that He is letting a prostitute wash his feet with her tears and her hair. Everybody knew the sins of this woman. But I think this woman knew that she had sinned even more than they knew, she had no hope of undoing what she had done. She felt she had no hope of a different way of life. And then Jesus forgave her, restored her, saved her, said she had value to God, even so. Her gratitude and love poured out from her soul in wordless adoration. When I think about forgiveness, I sometimes get a picture of myself shackled as a prisoner, sentenced to pay the penalty for the sins I have committed. Then, I picture Jesus, pure, pefect, sinless, strong, free--taking off my shackles and placing them on his own body. I feel as if He has traded places with me, offered me His freedom, His purity, His life in exchange for the life I had spoiled, the punishment I had earned. He paid for my punishment on the cross, because He loves me. And now, it is my opportunity to live my life for Him--to take this freedom, and this Spirit, this chance to live my life the way He would live it. I do not say I do it very well, but this is my hope. And by His power, grace, Spirit, and plan, my life will fufill His purpose for it.
