I'm a sinner. No matter how I try to do everything right; say everything right; and be everything right, there is no way around it...I will always be a sinner. But the way I look at it is this: I was washed in the blood of Christ and I am a Christian because I believe Jesus died on the cross for my sins.
Here is what Matthew 12 says about sins being forgiven:
“'Therefore I say to you, EVERY SIN AND BLASPHEMY will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.'" (Matthew 12:31-32 NIV)
I think this totally answers my question. Blasphemy against the SPIRIT will not be forgiven, if I read this correctly. No worries, God. I will not blasphemy the Spirit - you can count on me.
Yes, I knew I was forgiven and I know that I am forgiven before I sin but if I WILLFULLY try to do better, I believe, this will be pleasing to God.
Just my thoughts this morning.
My prayer today is that God will bless you and yours as you follow the path you are on. May your struggles be few and your hearts be happy :)
Have a GREAT day, and I hope to return on another.
