All our sins are paid in full on the cross.

We are all born sinners and as human as we are will fall into sin some day or the other in spite of our desire to live a holy life, however we as God's very own beloved children have an advantage.

Our heavenly father loved us so much so that he sent his only son Jesus into this world to bear our sins and to undergo the punishment and bear the consequences of our sin, which is death (Rom 6:23).

Today, precious child of God, don't be discouraged and burdened under the guilt of your sin, don't fall prey to the devil's lie which says your sin has no forgiveness; rather look upon the cross, and see Jesus has taken all your sin upon himself (2 Cor 5:21), he took your punishment upon him self and shed his blood so that all your sins will be wiped and washed way and you will be righteous before God. All our sins are paid for in full on the cross.

In 1 Samuel: 12:20 the word of God says to us Do not be afraid, You have done all evil; yet do not turn away from the Lord, but serve the lord with all your heart.

God tells us that in spite of all wrong we do, we should not give up on God or feel guilty and turn away from him, but rather go to him and tell him we are sorry for what wrong we have done knowingly or unknowingly and claim his blood and surely we will be made pure and righteous once again.

Our father in heaven is aware of our weakness and is ready to embrace us every time we go back to him, what will hurt him the most is when we turn away from him. The above word of god tells us we should not turn away from him but seek him and serve him with more passion than ever before.
