Subject: Bible's view on suicide? |
Bible Note: All of our iniquities have been forgiven --past, present, and future 'Now, some may take this truth and distort it. "If I can't out-sin God's grace," one may say, "then I can just keep on sinning and sinning." But God's overwhelming forgiveness is not a license for sin, but a motivation for holiness. 'And even though God will forgive, the consequences of our actions can never be undone. In addition, one day we will have to account for every single act we've ever committed. However, to say that any sin is unforgivable is to say that Christ's death was not enough, that the crucifixion was not the remedy for man’s sin. 'All of our iniquities—past, present, and future—have been forgiven. Instead of living in fear, doubt, and anxiety—constantly worrying whether or not we have committed some unpardonable act—we can take comfort in knowing that God is faithful to forgive. (1 John 1:9) He will never let us down.' * * * * * For more on the unpardonable sin from Dr. Charles Stanley and In Touch, be sure to visit: Article: http://www.intouch.org/myintouch/exploring/bible_says/single_questions/unpardonable_129541.html ___________________ The Unpardonable Sin (http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/In_Touch/Article_Archives.asp) |
