Are You Trying to Live up to God's Forgiveness?

Are you trying to live up to God's image before totally accepting his forgiveness and following Him?  The God of Christians is a merciful God.  He sent His son as forgiveness of your sins.  You only have to confess your sin and accept Jesus Christ into your heart.  His forgiveness in instant!

"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, 

and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." - 1 John 1:9 (KJV)

Once you do this, you are a child of God and you now have for God's grace over your life. You do not have to do anything else before that.  After that, you will begin to change as God moves in your life. and your faith  in Him increases.  You are now even more valuable to Him, because you are His. It is just as Rebecca Ashbrook Carrell wrote  about God's forgiveness and choosing of you simply as  you are "NOT rejected, so stop living dejected, and start living selected" (emphasis added) in her book Holy Hiking Boots (available on Amazon #ad).  He has selected you, adopted you into his family.  His mercy and love is forever.

"He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 

For as the heaven is high above the earth, 

so great is his mercy toward them that fear him." - Psalm 103:10-12 (KJV)
