Romans 3:23 says All Have Sinned And Fallen Short of The Glory of God. Even though Romans 3:23, says ALL SIN AND FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD. And we know from the Bible, that all we have to do is to call on the Name of the Lord, ask for forgiveness of our sins, and we will be saved. But because of our human selves and the condemnation we put on our selves we do not think that God will forgive us. But what about people in the bible, people like David, who although was a man after God's own heart, had sex with Bathsheba, and had her husband killed. Though God still anointed him King. What about Jonah who was called by God, to go and minister, at Nineveh. Though instead of going to Nineveh he decided to get up and flee and go to Tarshish. Eventhough Jonah disobeyed God, and God could have said okay you will get your way I will use someone else. God decided to send a giant Fish, and have the fish take him to Nineveh. What about Paul, who was previously named Saul, and was a murderer, and wanted to kill all of those who believed in Jesus. While, Saul was walking down the road to Damascus, Jesus comes ot him in a light, and asks Saul why are you persecuting me. Long story short, Saul becomes Paul, one of the greatest Evangelists of all time, and wrote most of the new Testament. What about Peter who after denying Jesus 3 times after the crucifixion, but after rising from the dead, Jesus doesn't forget about Peter. When Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Jaes, and Salome, the angel in the tomb says do not be afraid But go, tell His disciples and Peter, He is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see Him, just as He told you. Mark 16:1-7 Because of what we have done, in our past, and even what we have done, while we have had a relationship with Christ, though Jesus still forgives when we ask him. Jesus isn't a God, of one strike, and your out. The Bible says He will forgive us 70x7. Jesus will give us a second, third, and a fourth chance, and more if we need it, and because we are human we will need it. Lets remember those that have gone ahead of us, and remember those guys, and what they have done, and remind ourselves, that God uses anyone that allows him to.
