Often we can feel trapped in a cycle of sin, unable to escape. And we can also feel that God will give up on us and stop forgiving us because we keep slipping into the same sin time and again.
“The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this.
First he says: "This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds."
Then he adds: "Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more."
And where these have been forgiven, there is no longer any sacrifice for sin.”
(Hebrews 10:15-18)
Seriously the gospel is amazing! God sees us as we are, and chooses to forgive us anyway at the cost of his son. And then gives us the power to change!

A great word- thanks Charissa!
Its like the prodigal son story- The father forgives the son and welcomes him *back* in as his son- almost giving him the power to change from his ways when he was away from the father :)
Cool beans.
Love and prayers in Him, Dom
