GOD'S MINUTE!!!

IF YOU, O LORD, KEPT A RECORD OF SINS, O LORD
WHO COULD STAND? BUT WITH YOU THERE IS
FORGIVENESS; THEREFORE YOU ARE FEARED*.
( PSALM 130:3-4 *NIV )
*The Hebrew word translated as "feared," should have been
translated as "Revered."

Dear Charles,
We are all guilty of committing a sin once in a while, for
to be human is to be sinful. Even the Apostles of Jesus
Christ had that problem as well.

The Apostle Paul wrote; FOR WHAT I DO IS NOT THE
GOOD I WANT TO DO; NO, THE EVIL I DO NOT WANT
TO DO--THIS I KEEP DOING. WHAT A WRETCHED
MAN I AM! WHO WILL RESCUE ME FROM THIS BODY
OF DEATH?" ( ROMANS 7:19 & 24 ) To remain sinless
was a struggle for him, as well as, the rest of the Apostle's!
For sin has always been a struggle for mankind ever since
Adam and Eve!

Therefore when we slip and sin it is very important to
repent and ask our Heavenly Father to forgive us. After
all it is written that; 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 )

This is because Jesus Christ has already paid for our
sins. Thus; IN HIM WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH
HIS BLOOD, THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS, IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE RICHES OF GOD'S GRACE.
( EPHESIANS 1:7 ) Thus we become cleansed and forgiven
from our past sins, and that includes all of them!

Therefore it is written, COME NOW, LET US REASON
TOGETHER, SAYS THE LORD. THOUGH YOUR SINS
ARE LIKE SCARLET, THEY SHALL BE WHITE AS SNOW;
THOUGH THEY ARE RED AS CRIMSON, THEY SHALL
BE LIKE WOOL. ( ISAIAH 1:18 )

So Charles, just be the very best person that you can
be, and if you slip and sin once in a while, do not think that
God doesn't love you anymore. For no one is perfect, how-
ever once there was One, sinless and blameless, who only
taught us to love, and they Crucified Him!

With My Love & Prayers,
your servant Allen
