Hi Jennifer,

 

Then, since "sins" are imaginary -- are you telling us that YOU have never sinned?  Really?  Have you never done anything wrong -- never taken a paper clip which did not belong to you -- never spoke badly of another -- never looked at a man or boy with lustful thoughts -- never received an overpayment on a check or from a store clerk, and did not report it or make the correction -- never cursed  another -- have never drunk too much alcohol -- never spoke evil or in anger against people of another ethnic group or race?

 

Of course, we could go on.  But, can YOU say that YOU have never done any of this?   If so, you must be Jesus Christ -- for only He was and is the perfect human. 

 

No, Jennifer, sins are not imaginary.   We, as humans, have two kinds of sin.  First is our "sin nature" which we inherited from Adam.  And, second, are the thousands upon thousands of sins we commit every day of our lives.  

 

Jesus Christ came to earth in a human body to purchase, through His perfect blood, a "full pardon" for our sin nature -- and to provide an avenue through which we can, daily, gain forgiveness for our many sins.  All a person has to do to be set free from his/her sin prison is to accept His "paid in full" pardon and walk out of that sin prison cell which has been binding the person all his/her life.  

 

The cell door is standing open, the "full pardon" has been paid -- and, yet, many folks just keep sitting in their sin nature cell as though they were bound by shackles.  No, my Friend, the shackles were removed by the blood of Jesus Christ.  You are free to walk into eternal freedom in Christ.  But, YOU have to make that choice.

 

Yes, Jennifer, you are a sinner.  But, your pardon has been paid. 


Why are you still sitting in that cell?

 

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

 

Bill
