me permission to copy his e-mails, and I'm sure
he would be happy if you would share this with
people you know as well.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL THURSDAY JANUARY 26, 2006
( Isaiah 59:2, Matthew 26:28, Ephesians 1:7,
1 John 1:9 )
A message for those who feel they have sinned too
much for God to ever forgive them. One of the
emails I get every day is from people who tell me
they have simply sinned too much for God to ever
forgive them. Some tell me that they have done
things so bad in their life, God could never, ever
forgive them. I want you to hear me clearly today.
There is nothing, NO THING that you have ever done
that God can't and won't forgive you for. The
Bible tells us that if you will humble yourself
before the Lord and ask Him to forgive you, HE WILL!!!
It is important for you to understand what sin is.
Sin by its very definition is rebellion against God.
It is your sins that separate you from a Holy God.
There are no categories of sin, no such thing as
"good sins" and "bad sins." There is a bright line
and you are either on one side of that line, in
obedience to God and His Word, or you are on the other
side of that line, in rebellion to God and His Word.
That is why one sin is no better or worse than another
sin, since ALL sin is rebellion against God.
The Bible in Matthew 12:31 and 32 talks about the
"unpardonable sin." My friend, there is only one
unpardonable sin and that is rejecting Jesus Christ.
The only sin that you can commit that there is no
forgiveness for is rejecting Christ. You see, God's
desire is NOT to see men perish for all eternity.
Quite the opposite. The Bible tells us that His
desire is that ALL come to repentance and none be
lost. God doesn't send men to hell, men choose to
go to hell by rejecting Christ as their Savior.
Hell was not created for man but for satan and the
fallen angels who followed him. You can only get
to hell by CHOOSING to go there.
God loved this world so much, He made a way for His
fallen creation to be redeemed. That is the reason
He sent Christ to this earth, to die for the sins of
the world. To die for your sins and mine. You have
to understand that the reason God will forgive you
for your sins if you ask Him to, is because Jesus
already paid for them. Your sins, no matter what they
are, can be forgiven because Christ hung on that cross
and shed His precious blood as payment for them. That
is why there is nothing you have ever done, no sin you
have ever committed, that God won't forgive you for.
THE PRICE FOR YOUR SINS HAS ALREADY BEEN PAID!!!
I love you and care about you so much. I know many of
you are living today with the guilt and shame of what
you have done in your life. You have chosen to listen
to the lies of satan as he tells you that you are not
worthy of God's love and forgiveness. You have chosen
to listen to his lies as he tells you that what you
have done is even too much for God to forgive you for.
I want you to know that satan is a LIAR! The TRUTH is
that God loves you, He cares about you, and has made a
way for you to find forgiveness and have your sins
washed away. All you have to do is ask Him to forgive
you.
Believing in Jesus is the only way to be saved because
it was Jesus who died for your sins. There is no
other way to be saved, no other road to God, there is
no other plan of salvation!!! This is God's one and
only plan to reconcile His fallen creation back to
Himself. This is the only way that you can escape
eternity apart from the God who created you in His
own image. It is through His grace and by your faith
in Jesus Christ who died so that your sins could be
forgiven.
The most important decision you will make in this
life is not who you will marry, or where you will
live, or what kind of job you will have. The
most important decision you will make in this life
is to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and
Savior. If you have not done that yet, the Bible
says that TODAY is the day of salvation. I would
invite you to go to www.liveprayer.com/bdy_salvatn.html .
Pray to ask God to open your heart, read the words,
pray the prayer, and accept God's gift to you today,
the forgiveness of your sins and everlasting life
through His son Jesus.
For those of you who already know Christ as your
Savior, I would encourage you to forward this
message to someone who you know who is lost and
without Christ in their life. Maybe they feel,
like many others, that they have simply done too
many bad things in their life and God could never
forgive them. I pray that these words will open
their heart to His love for them, and they will
ask Him to forgive them of their sins and accept
by faith Jesus Christ into their heart and life.
In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,
Bill Keller
