We are always looking for better.
God has best for you. He has forgiveness, and it is the Best Thing Ever!
God forgives our Sin! Sin is something we don't like to think about or talk about. Sin is often misunderstood as God's attempt to control us with silly rules. But this is not what Sin and God's commands are about.
The word Sin in scripture is the Greek word Hamartia, and it means "to miss the mark." Sin is missing the mark of the BEST that God has to offer you. God's commands are not made to control you but to keep you from hurting yourself with the worst things in life and instead direct you towards the Best. The subject of Sin & Commands is really all about God's Love! More people need to know this!
God forgives us of our sin if we CONFESS. (1 John 1:9) Any sin! God forgives confessed sin. Does that sound like the best thing ever? It should!
God offers 2 events that a re a part of forgiveness.
Repentance
Baptism
In Repentance you have a change of mind. You make a new decision and go a New Direction. You turn from your sin and turn to God.
In Baptism you are buried with Jesus into His death and then raised to live a brand New Life!
If you have not experienced His forgiveness... If you have never received Repentance or Baptism you are missing out on the Best Thing Ever!
