GONE FOREVER

Life offers no joy that compares with the realization of sins forgiven. The past and present are as white as snow. This is our condition when we accept Christ.
Satan doesn’t give up that easily, however. Although he has lost the battle for an eternal soul, he continually tempts the Christian with, “Are your sins really forgiven — all of them?”
These questions remind me of Joe. We were graduate students together at Columbia University; he in the field of science and I in education and psychology. Then one day I had the privilege of leading Joe to the Lord. Immediately we set up a program of study and memorization of the Word.
A couple of weeks passed. Then one day when we saw each other in the library he said, “Narramore, are you sure all my sins are forgiven?”

You see, if he can get you to believe that lie, he will rob you of your joy and he will cripple your testimony.
If you are a believer, your sins are forgiven! It makes no difference whether you feel it or not — it does not change the facts. You may think your sins are not forgiven, but God says they are forgiven. So they are.
