Forgiven

F ree from the penalty of sin, O nly because of Jesus' sacrifice. R epentance brings relief from guilt. G race and mercy are given I n unlimited amounts. V ictory over sin and death is ours, E ternal life, God's precious promise, N ever to be forsaken. 2019

Yes, I do believe in what you say. However, if one constantly repeats the same sin, and constantly asks for forgiveness and repents, will Jesus still grant him or her grace and mercy? It is something I have always wanted to ask a priest, but for some reason keep forgetting. Mystic Rose Rose's answer I really like, wish humans were as forgiving as Jesus and God. I really, really enjoyed your poem Kim, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

There is a story in the Bible where Peter asks Jesus how many times should he forgive someone who has wronged him. Jesus told him 70 x 7 times which I interpret as every time, and if Jesus told us to forgive like this I know that God will forgive us every time. Thank you for commenting, Jennifer!
