Forgiving Grace of God

-

 

Humans are born sinful from birth. Unfortunately, in the course of our lives we often become guilty before God through our evil deeds or thoughts. But luckily there is a way out! A way out was given in the Old Testament by God the Father and in the New Testament by Jesus Christ who went to the cross for our sins and rose again.

1. Forgiveness of sins in the Old Testament of the Bible


Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord! O Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy! If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness, that you may be feared.
I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen for othe morning, more than watchmen for the morning. O Israel, hope in the Lord! For with the Lord there is steadfast love, and with him is plentiful redemption. And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
Psalms 130,1-8 (ESV)

A short prayer and yet full of great meaning:


  • This prayer describes a state of abandonment and fear - hostility from people - pain, or suffering.

  • Here in the text it is the consciousness of sin. The worshiper sees himself separated from God by his sin.

  • There is so much that accuses me before God! May I hope that he minesupplication heeded?
If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?
Psalms 130,3 (ESV)

But with you there is forgiveness, that you may be feared. 
Psalms 130,4 (ESV)
 
With us there is much sin - But with God, there is much forgiveness. According to Isaiah 55:7
 
2. Forgiveness of sins in the New Testament of the Bible
 
For God so loved the world,9 that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. John 3,16+17 (ESV)


Song: I marvel at the love that can never be understood.

I look at his saving, bleeding hands! His sacrifice in my place never I can forget! I will now praise him in adoration at the throne of grace until I see him, the glorious Son of God.

Refrain: Oh, that's wonderful that Jesus should ask about me, since he risked his life for me on the cross. That's wonderful!

This promise is true and tangible. This message has already saved the lives of many people. Come to Jesus the Savior today. He atoned for all our sins on the cross.

Gleichnis vom vierfachen Ackerfeld

Bild
  https://waechter-media.de/java/saemann.html Die vier verschiedenen Böden können als Bild für unser Herz betrachtet werden. Gottes Wort ist die Saat die in unser Herz fällt. Teile fallen auf guten Boden, es geht auf und bringt viel Frucht. Teile fallen auf den harten Weg, und Satan raubt alles direkt, da mein Herz an manchen Stellen hart und undurchdringlich geworden ist, weil Menschen auf ihn herumgetrampelt sind. Teile fallen auf steinigen Boden, wo wenig Tiefe da ist und kaum Wurzeln wachsen können. Es gibt Steine in meinem Leben, die verhindern, dass ich geistig reif und mündig werde... ohne Mündigkeit hält der Glaube in den Stürmen des Lebens nicht stand. Teile fallen unter Dornen, die sinnbildlich für Flüche und Bindungen stehen können 1. Der Weg Auf hartem Boden kann kein Same eindringen und wachsen. Es gibt Bereiche in unserem Herzen, wo Verhärtungen da sind. Durch unsere Erfahrungen treffen wir Entscheidungen und entwickeln bestimmte Gedankenmuster, die ...

Transformation of human into heavenly body

  More Info:  https://www.wiederkunft-jesu.info/ When Jesus returns, our human body will be transformed into a heavenly body. Many Christians at the time of  Jesus return have already died and will still be resurrected. Many cannot understand with their minds how it would be possible for God to bring the molecules of human bodies back together. That's why I would like to try to make it more understandable with two examples from scientists: One day, an employee of the famous chemist Faraday dropped a small silver cup into a container of acid, dissolved in it and disappeared. When Faraday came in, he added more chemicals to the jar. A moment later all the silver particles were at the bottom of the vessel. He sifted out the misshapen silver and gave it to a silversmith, who restored the cup so that it shone brighter than before. If Faraday could excrete the dissolved silver and recover his cup, how much more can God reassemble the scattered dust of a body. Knight, p.56...

Parable of the fourfold soil

  https://waechter-media.de/java/saemann.html The four different floors can be viewed as a picture for our heart. God's Word is the seed that falls into our hearts. Parts fall on good soil, it grows and bears much fruit. Parts fall the hard way, and Satan steals it all straight away, as my heart has become hard and impenetrable in places because of men trampling on him. Parts fall onto stony ground where there is little depth and roots can hardly grow. There are stones in my life that prevent me from becoming spiritually mature and mature... without maturity, faith cannot withstand the storms of life. Parts fall under thorns, which can symbolize curses and bonds 1. The path Seeds cannot penetrate and grow on hard ground. There are areas in our hearts where there are hardenings. Through our experiences we make decisions and develop certain thought patterns, which in turn influence our decisions. It's like a network of trails. It is very difficult to take new paths and these p...
