Should we be asking for forgiveness.

<< < (2/8) > >>

John from Kentucky:
The Scriptures tell us all have sinned.  Three things must occur to remove sin.

1) Forgiveness

2) Repentance

3) Cleansing


It all starts with forgiveness of sin, which only God can do, and which He did before creation.


Below is a study by Ray where he goes in depth into this subject.

When the Potter has set up all the conditions necessary for you to 'repent', you will repent.

Hi Dave,

Your statement does coincide with what I believe Ray was saying when he said you will stop sinning when God says you will stop sinning.

When you say ( conditions ) what comes to mind is causes, when God causes us to stop. God sends us thousands of causes that do cause our lives to be lived in the way He determined before we were born what our lives should be.

Where we live what we do, where we work ,the people we meet an so on. I find in me the same law Paul also found in himself too.

Also you put in you reply ( this from the Lord Jesus ) Luk 18:10 to 14

I do thank you for that, there are I believe many of us who can relate to these most comforting scriptures.

Thanks Dave and God bless.  :)

Hello John.

Thank you for the link concerning what I’m trying to understand an no one I know of has a better way of explaining these things than Ray.

Thanks again John and God bless.

Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother sin, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.And if he sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him. Luke 17:3-4



Then came Peter and said to him, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? until seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times; but, Until seventy times seven.  Matthew 18:21-22



Likewise the Lord will do also.

Hello  Santgen,

Although Gods wrath is against those who are perishing in this age His love will shine on the many in the next age at some point, I always keep Gods plan in the forefront of my understanding at all times.

It does appear that forgiveness is very much apart of Gods plan no doubt, but my understanding is that Gods love and forgiveness is with the elect in this age but shall be freely given to the many in the next age to come at some point after the resurrection has taken place.

All are included in Gods plan but the thing is, some now the rest later in the respect that God is only dealing with the elect in this age. Its really like Ray said, do you believe the scriptures ? It really is a great question for one both to ask and to answer for themselves.

Thank you for your reply and God bless.  :)
