The Bullet of Forgiveness: The Heart of God’s Message to Humanity
Most folks … even active church people … seem to miss the main point about the religion of Jesus Christ. As my friend, Jess Moody, puts it: “The world is overloaded with religious pygmies who cover up their runthood with pseudo piety.”
To summarize the message and the meaning of Christ’s gospel in one sentence, I would say this, “God loves everyone of us totally and continually just as we are and yearns for us to admit our need of Him, reject our rebellion from His ways and allow Him to be our Master so that we may know peace, pardon, purpose and power.”
King David expressed is so well in Psalm 103:10, 11, 14: “for God has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For high as the heavens are above the earth so great is His loving kindness toward those who fear (reverence, trust, obey) Him. For He Himself knows what we are made of. He is mindful that we are but dust (frail, weak, temporary, brief).”
But David’s prayer is the prayer of a man who wants to be honest with God, who admits his guilt and who seeks God’s forgiveness.
