All-Forgiven, That's Why I Can ForgiveI Forgive Because All-Forgiven You can call this page the born again experience, the gift of eternal life, born of the the Spirit, born from above, Saved by grace, sealed by the Holy Spirit, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb,set apart for His purpose, ect. Call it whatever you want, it is my personal experience and relationshipwith the Lord Jesus the Christ. The story of Christ the Messiah is found in the Bible. The Bible is the book of all books, it is indisputably the greatest book ever written; and it's still the #1 best seller. It is this experience and relationship with Christ the Anointed One, that has given me a new heart (Psalm 51:10), so I can forgive anyone of anything at anytime. All-forgiven is God's Plan of Salvation in Jesus Christ.The all-forgiven plan is complete when you confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord; and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you are forgiven completely. Romans10:9Do you know about the all-forgiven plan of God in Jesus the Christ? Well, God's plan of Salvation waspresented to me, and I accepted it. It is that simple, or is it? I'm not sure how simple it is, because many persons have been presented with the same plan, and they have totally rejected it or ignored it. I realized that in that plan lies my secured future, my happiness here and after, my hope of redemptionfrom sin that I'm so helplessly bound, my vibrant health, my peace of mind. In that plan lies the answers to many of my unanswered questions. Let me ask you a simple but profound question, "have you come to that place in your spiritual lifewhere you know for certain that if were to die now you would be secured for eternity? What isyour answer? May I share with you how I came to know I have eternal life, and how you can knowit too? We cannot save ourselvesThe good news is, eternal life is a free gift (Romans 6:23b), It is not earned, nor deserved (Ephesians 2:8,9).I learnt that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself (Romans 3:23, and Ephesians 2:9). I was trying to solve this problem by doing a lot of good things. Not knowing that I was messing things up.The problem of us trying to save ourselves come into sharper focus when we see what the Bible says about God.God is merciful and does not want to punish us (Jeremiah 31:3). But at the same time, God is also just, and therefore must punish sin (Exodus 34:7b). If we think about this carefully, we will conclude that Godis in a dilemma. God solve this "sin problem" with His all-forgiven plan by entering into the world in the person of His Son, Jesus the Christ. Who really is this Jesus the Christ? To put it deceptively simple, He is the God-Man (St. John 1:1,14).In other words, God revealed Himself in the form of a person. What did He do? He died to pay for our sinsand to purchase a place in heaven for us which He offers as a free gift, (Isaiah 53:6), and this gift is received by faith. Saved by FaithThis is not just any type of faith, because we all have and exercise faith in someone or something.This faith is called saving faith. Saving faith is not head knowledge nor is it temporal faith,(James 2:19).If you are sitting in a chair reading these words, before you came and sat there, you believe that thechair was able to bear your weight, you are exercising temporal faith in the chair. If you stood there andnever trusted the chair to hold your weight, you would never experience the chair ability to hold you. That type of faith cannot save you. What you need is Saving FAITH. Saving Faith is ... trusting Jesus Christ alone for you eternal salvation (Acts 16:31). Does this make sense to you? We are talking about the all-forgiven plan of God. Would you like to receive the gift of eternal life? This is the most important decision you can make, so let me clarifywhat you are doing:
Trust in Christ today, so you can be forgiven and learn to forgive, because He is the only hope of eternal salvation. The complete and all-forgiven plan of God
