5 A Letter from Pastor John Every Christian sins. Every child of light stumbles into momentary darkness. And as Christians in this world, we are sinners and saints. We are redeemed, yet we still need to repent. We are forgiven, yet we still need to confess our sin. This reality of our lives is not easy and many Christians struggle with the process. But in the midst of such struggle, it is important to remind ourselves of the truth of who we are in Scripture. Forgiveness is ours. Forgiveness is not a possibility; it is already a reality (1 John 2:12). A clean record is ours. Your debt is gone. The Lord paid the penalty, the record of debt has been cancelled, and the legal demands have been met. (Colossians 2:13-14). Peace is ours. Grant yourself peace; God has. There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1) The guilt is not ours to carry, It has been born by another. He said, It is finished, and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit (John 19:30). The Father is ours. God continues to be our Everlasting Father. He continues to direct His love towards us. (Galatians 4:6-7) Freedom is ours. You are not forsaken. This isn t the end. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand (John 10:28). We are not disqualified. God continues to use sinners for great purposes. God is not done working in you and through you. (1 John 2:1). We need the comfort of the gospel and its strong encouragements. We have a great God! Let us never forget that. His grace is sufficient for the past and his strength is never ending for the future! - Pastor John 5
