FORGIVEN (Continued)
Scripture Reading:
Luke 7:36-50 (KJV) "And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat. And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that [Jesus] sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, and stood at his feet behind [him] weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe [them] with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed [them] with the ointment. Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw [it], he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman [this is] that toucheth him: for she is a sinner. And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on. There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most? Simon answered and said, I suppose that [he], to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged. And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped [them] with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, [the same] loveth little. And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also? And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace."
Closing the loop, let us return to the fact that our sins are forgiven in Christ Jesus. Continuing to teach Simon in the parable Jesus said, "Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, [the same] loveth little. And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also? And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace."
You are free indeed if you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. See Him as the Fulfillment of all three Feasts, Passover, Pentecost and Tabernacles within you. Allow Him to live through you moment by moment. If you have not accepted Jesus into your heart, following is a prayer guide that will guarantee your salvation if you mean it with your whole heart:
"Lord Jesus, apart from You, I am sinner. I repent of all my sins and ask You to forgive me. I invite You to come into my heart and live through me. I receive You as my Savior and Lord. Heavenly Father, I believe every promise in Your Word, and I ask for and receive Your Holy Spirit. I believe He will help me to fully yield every area of my life to You that I may worship You in spirit and in truth. Thank you, Heavenly Father. In the Name of Jesus I pray, Amen."
You are now accepted in the beloved and have become part of a kingdom of priests who are consecrated unto God for His will and good pleasure and where Christ Jesus is all and in all! Below are Scriptures that confirm this information. They will prove just how much our Heavenly Father loves you. The Work is finished! You are on God’s Mind, and He cherishes you.
