Is Your Sin Too Great To Be Forgiven?

February 19

"'Come now, and let us reason together,'
says the Lord;
'Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red like crimson,
they shall be as wool.'"
Isaiah 1:18

Is there any sin too wicked to be forgiven?

No. The issue isn't the degree of sin. As sinners we all sin and therefore are ALL condemned. Some sin more greatly than others, but all sin breaks the law of God. The law of God is like a glass, once it's broken, the whole thing is broken. Sin breaks the law of God, and renders us unable to enter heaven.

"For whoever shall keep the whole law,
and yet stumble in one point,
he is guilty of all."
James 2:10

But the mercy of God endures forever. He is the Father watching for the prodigal to come home. Watching, waiting, he says, "Though your sins be scarlet, they shall be white as snow." He is waiting for you.

"Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his mercy endures forever."
Psalm 136:1

If this is reaching the heart of someone who has much sin, you've probably realized that your sins did not make you happy. Rebellion against your Creator will never produce happiness. If you are willing to turn your life over to him, he will forgive you and never again hold your sin against you. You can have a new life, and you can find peace in Christ. Come to him and ask him to become the Lord of your life. 

"If you are willing and obedient,
you shall eat the good of the land;
but if you refuse and rebel,
you shall be devoured..."
Isaiah 1:19-20

Come now! Do not put it off any longer.
