It’s often a challenge to imagine that God forgives us, especially when we can’t seem to truly forgive ourselves.
Any time you hear it being preached that God loves all His children and has a purpose for their lives, you can be sure that someone hearing it is having trouble believing it.
The truth is that none of us deserve care and protection from the Father, but thankfully, deserving is not the basis for God’s love.
God’s very nature is love, which He demonstrated through the death of Christ.
He cares so much for us that He gave each of us a place in His plan for the world.
What happens when Christians can’t see this?
When they consider themselves exempt from God’s love?
This happens when we simply aren’t looking for the opportunities He sends and become distracted by the lying voice of Satan.
Satan might actually use our knowledge of God against us.
As Christians, we have come to know the will of God and how important it is.
When we realise we have broken God’s will, we may become convinced that God could not forgive us.
Satan has tried to close our eyes to God’s love.
However, when we study the scriptures to understand not only God’s will but also God’s love, we can appreciate the forgiving nature of the Lord.
