accepting Christ is as easy as healing.

getting God's grace from destruction is easy too because He promised in 1 John1:9 - If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

but that doesn't mean that we continue sinning against God. the first sermon Jesus preached is - From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

whats repentance? its an inward change of direction with an outward change of direction.

but beware~ there's worldly repentance and true repentance. you may ask whats the difference, so here's the answer. 2 Corithians 2:7 For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.

let me remind you that there's also a place of no repentance. Hebrews 12:17 For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.

no doubt we need the grace of God everyday of our lives and God doesn't expect us to change overnight. but He will give us the strength to overcome our weakness because He sent the Helper to us.

everyone needs God and only a fool thinks that he doesn't need God. Psalms 14:1 To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good.

as we read on, God looked down from Heaven to look for those that seek God, but God found none. yet God promised in verse 7 that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When the Lord brings back the captivity of His people, Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.

this is how much God loves His creation! 1 Corithians 2:9 But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.

God WILL share secrets with YOU!! wonderful secrets that no man would know! isn't that amazing!?

don't you want to be part of this wonderful relationship with God?

confess and repent now, and He will be just to forgive us of our sins.
