Forgiveness isn’t rocket science

 It is much, much, more than that.

Your complete forgiveness for ALL your sins, past, present, and future, has already been arranged.

It is at the “will call” desk of God. Paid for; with your name on it.

But…you have to show up, ‘fess up to who you are, and gratefully receive what God has arranged for you.

Salvation is not about what you DO… it is about what God HAS DONE.

Well…there is ONE thing that you must do.

You must be willing to trade your old, condemned self for the new eternally free self that Jesus bought for you on the cross.

Your ID at the “will call” desk is your old self. When you say, “I’m sinful ______(enter your name), here to swap my sins for God’s forgiveness. Jesus said I could pick it up here.” at that moment your new life begins.

Again…it isn’t rocket science.

Don’t leave your eternal destiny at the “will call” desk. Show up. “Fess up”. Make the trade. Then walk away, sin-free and Spirit-empowered, courtesy of God the Father and His Son, Jesus.
