it's true

Jude 24 And now, all glory to God, who is able to keep you from stumbling, & who wll bring you into His glorious presence innocent of sin & with great joy.

"innocent of sin"

so, because of Jesus, God doesn't hold our sins against us - He forgives them.

and He forgets them.

so, He doesn't see them.

any of them.

think about that.

so, no matter what I've done (or anyone else has done), if we ask for forgiveness, He gives it.

and doesn't see us a sinful, but as a trophy of His grace.

this is the scandal of Christianity.

this is what people just can't quite believe.

if we ask, we're forgiven - of anything, of everything.

If you're out there in the Internet world, & you're reading this, & you can't quite believe that's all there is to it...

believe it - it's true
