Maybe you’ve done something bad. And you don’t think you can
be forgiven. Or maybe something bad has happened to you. And you went so far as
to curse God. Whatever the case may be, you wouldn’t be the only one. And you
wouldn’t be the worst sinner there was. And you wouldn’t be the only one who
found forgiveness and hope.
In 1 Timothy 1:12-16, the Apostle Paul says that the Lord made him a minister, even though he had been a blasphemer, and murderer. And he says that the grace of God and the love of Christ overflowed to him, because Jesus came into the world to save sinners, and I am the worst of them!
This is so important. Paul said that the reason he was given mercy was to serve as an example of God’s patience for those who would become believers in him. So, if God can forgive the worst blasphemer, who persecuted and killed God’s people, then he can forgive you. Believe it.
