SIN...

Week 5
FOURTH JEWEL, we looked at what happens when we SIN.

SIN means to choose my way instead of His way. We all fail, sin, and do wrong things. No one in History has ever been perfect except for Jesus. Even though we are His disciples we will keep struggling with SIN as long as we are on this Earth.

Peter passionately loved Jesus. He thought he loved Jesus enough to die for Him. But when Peter thought he was in danger… he lied, and said that he did not even know Jesus. He sinned and he failed his dearest friend. **** What happened when Peter SINNED? Jesus could have said, “Well, Peter denied he even knows Me. I’ll just forget about him.” But Jesus did not give up on Peter. He forgave Peter. Jesus loved Peter and gave Peter a great future. We read in Acts about the great things Peter got to do.

God’s forgiveness is bigger than all of our failures. Jesus doesn’t give up on any of us, either. His Word says that if we admit our SINS, He will forgive us, and He will help us to obey His Word. His forgiveness is what makes it possible to be members of His family. Let’s admit we fail. Let’s celebrate that He will forgive and He will never give up on us.
