The Lord realizes that our sins will lead to nothing but misery and death, and that is why He has chosen to take care of this debt that we ourselves could never pay. "For He understands how weak we are; He knows we are only dust." Psalm 103:14. Friends, don't ever think that you have gone too far or that God can't possibly forgive your past, because His grace always reaches lower than your worst mistakes and sins, regardless of what they may be. In John 1:29, Jesus is called "the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world." If He has the ability to take away the sins of an entire world, don't you think He can cleanse away any sin of yours?

Jesus didn't come to just save the so-called "good" people. He said in Matthew 9:13 "I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." Consider also what Romans 5:8 has to say: "But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners." Jesus didn't die for perfect people, but He gave His life for sinners, and we all fit into this category. Christ spent most of His time on earth hanging out with thieves, prostitutes, and drunkards, not because He liked that kind of a lifestyle, but because He knew that they were the ones who most needed the abundant life that He had to offer. Jesus was often criticized for this, but He told His accusers, "They that are whole need not a physician, but they that are sick." Luke 5:31

It is so vitally important that we understand the fact that all of us have been tainted by this sickness called sin. But fortunately, we have the only antidote available right at our fingertips. It is the blood of Jesus, the Great Physician. 1 John 1:7 explains that "the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin." The Lord is willing and more than able to remove any guilt, any stain, any sin. Jesus has already paid for it all. There isn't anything that He can't take care of.

If we want real fulfillment, then we need to be right with God, and that means that we need to have our sins forgiven. The first step in being forgiven is to acknowledge and admit that you are in need of forgiveness. In order to be saved, you must first realize that you are lost. Jesus said in Luke 19:10 that He came "to seek and and to save that which is lost." He's already paid the penalty for your sins, now all you have to do is accept this free gift of eternal life.
