God Forgave the Ruthless Sinner Like...

“6-To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7- In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;” (Ephesians 1: 6- 7 KJV)

Apostle Paul claimed the position no one would dare, and want to admit or proudly declare to the world- “Chief among sinners”. But the Lord by His grace and rich in mercy opened the door of forgiveness to everyone through the Lord Jesus Christ. God forgave Moses who killed an Egyptian. God forgave King David when he committed adultery with Bathsheba and killed Uriah to cover up his sins. (II Samuel 11: 1- 27) God can forgive the chief among sinners. He can and will forgive you too. Be it a weakness, a moral issue, God’s blood can cleanse us, and will washed away our sins. Apostle John said; “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”

Apostle Paul was ruthless, merciless, and was a murderer and persecutor of Christians, but God forgave him. God can do the same to you if you will ask Him to forgive you. You have to humbly come to God in repentance. The Bible says; “8- If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9-If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (I John 1:8- 9 KJV)
