Truly in Heaven there will be more joy over one sinner who repents than 99 who have no need to repent.
This is a sobering thought. Jesus came to save you and me. But if we do not repent, we cannot be saved. Believing in Jesus without repentance if fruitless.
Even the demons believe and tremble.
That is what sets us apart. When we believe in Jesus, we believe in the work and propitiation He performed in dying for our sins on that cross. Then we know that we are sinners. The Holy Spirit convicts us that we have sinned. And as we pray and repent, more and more the Holy Spirit convicts us to ask for forgiveness for things long forgotten.
Being a Child of GOD is not a once saved always saved thing. We need to work at building our relationship with our FATHER in Heaven, through prayer, reading HIS word and being with like-minded Christ followers.
But when we repent, truly repent, then there is rejoicing in Heaven. Because another sinner is saved!
Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I humbly pray that YOU forgive me for the sins that I have forgotten about. Forgive me FATHER I pray. I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay Graciously Jesus blessed today!
