Got Forgiveness?

How can I receive forgiveness from God?

The Answer is Acts 13:38 declares, "Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you." (NIV)

What is forgiveness and why do I need it?
Define Word " Forgive" means to wipe the slate clean, to pardon, to cancel a debt. when we wrong someone, we seek their forgiveness in order for the relationship to be restored. Forgiveness is not granted because a person deserve to be forgiven. what kind of act to be forgiveness? LOVE, MERCY and GRACE. Forgiveness is a decision to not hold something against another person, despite what they have done to you.

The Bible tell us that we all in need of forgiveness from God. We have all committed sin. Ecclesiastes 7:20 proclaims, "For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not." (KJV) 1 John 1:8 says, "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." (KJV) All sin is ultimately an act of rebellion against God. We really need God's forgiveness. If we don't confess that we have sin, we will spend eternity suffering the consequences of our sins. (Matthew 25:46; John 3:36)

GOOD NEWS!!! God is loving and merciful- eager to forgive us of our sins! 2 Peter 3:9 says, "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." (NIV) He desires to forgive us, so He provided for our forgiveness through Jesus Christ. (Acts 13:38).

Transformation

What does the Bible say about Transformation?  I found a good verse that defined of Transformation. "Change or renewal from a life that no longer conforms to the ways of the world to one that pleases God" (Romans 12:2). How do we know that a person who is transformed from Darkness to Light? The evidence of transformation within us is seen in the way we increasingly contemplate the identicalness and glory of Christ (2 Corinthians 3:18). if your body is controlled by the Spirit of God lives in you, then you are controlled NOT by the sinful nature. If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, He does not belong to Christ (Romans 8:9). How can we be considered as children of God? We must be led by the Spirit of God.

Children of Light

"You, brethren, are not in darkness...You are all sons of light." 1 Thessalonians 5:4-5 The Born-again Christian sees life not as a blurred, confused, meaningless mass, but as something planned and purposeful. His eyes have been opened to spiritual truth. Jesus said that one of the reason He had come to earth was to preach "recovery of sight to the blind" (Luke 4:18). By nature we are all spiritually blind because of sin. But the Spirit of God helps us see our sin and our helplessness and show us God's redeeming grace in Christ. The Spirit reveals the truth of Jesus declaration: "I am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life" (John 8:12). We are no longer in the dark-we know where we came from, we know why we are here, and we know where we are going. In the midst of a world living in spiritual darkness, walk as a child of the light!
