Grace of forgiveness of sins

2

[1 John 1:9]

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

3

What comes to mind when you look at the words of sin?

In Romans 3:23, says, “Everyone has sinned and has not reached the glory of God.”

4

According to this scripture, there is no one who has sinned in this world.

We call the person who committed the crime a sinner.

The Bible says that everyone in this world is a sinner.

5

Then what is the sin in the Bible?

There are two major crimes in the Bible. Original sin and Actual sin.

6

Original sin refers to sin born from the birth of all humans.

There was no sin in the Garden of Eden where our ancestors Adam and Eve lived.

So they could meet God directly and always lived happily with God.

7

But when Adam broke the promise with God and ate the fruit of sin, sin began.

After Adam sinned, all who were born were born with sin. We call this the original sin.

Because of the original sin, we fell into a miserable state unable to enter the kingdom of God.

8

Another sin, an actual sin is the sin of the person who was born of the original sin.

actual sin is the most sinful thing we do in our lives.

It refers to all the sins of lying, theft, and murder.

Humans born with original sin cannot live without sin.

9

God has sent Jesus to solve this sin that has existed from the time of man's birth.

Jesus, the innocent, carried all our sins on the cross and died.

And Jesus completely resurrected the death that resulted from sin, and rose from the dead in three days.

10

Anyone who overcomes the power of sin and believes in the resurrected Jesus and accepts him as his master will be forgiven of all sins, and will become a child of God and go to heaven.

11

A person who believes in Jesus and is saved is blessed as he escapes from the place of a sinner who belongs to Satan and moves into the position of the righteous as a child of God.

12

Is the person who believes in Jesus no longer living without sin?

No. After we believe in Jesus, we still sin.

We believe in Jesus and become children of God, but we still live in sin.

13

Because we have sin in our lives from birth. the sin is hiding in us, tempting us to sin if we are at fault. Our will to avoid sin is often broken and sinful.

14

After believing in Jesus, the apostle Paul never tried to sin. But Paul did not succeed.

He realized that sin is stronger than sinful self-will.

He realized that because his will was already corrupted by sin, he could never overcome sin.

15

Paul realized that the only way to defeat sin was by Jesus who overcame the power of sin.

If Jesus is in us, we are able to overcome sin

because we are helping the Holy Spirit to overcome the temptations of sin in us.

16

But when we let Jesus out of my heart, sin is in place. then we will commit unintended sin.

Then we become disappointed and fall into weakness.

17

But Jesus knew our weakness and opened the way to solve the problem.

Jesus helped us and gave us special grace to help us pray for repentance to God.

When we give a repentance prayer,

God forgives all sins I have committed for many times and gives strength to sin again.

18

Today's Scripture declares that we are blessed.

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9)

19

We, as children of God through the grace of Jesus, should live in the heart of the Holy Spirit in order not to sin.

If you have been weak and have sinned, do not delay, but immediately confess your sins to God, seek forgiveness, and free yourself from sin.

Let us be thankful to God who has given us this great grace and be free from sin.
