Devil has been a liar since the beginning.
---1, He lures us into sin, then
---2, condemns us and convinces us God will never forgive us.
Learn from Peter
-------who wept over his sin of denying Jesus and went back to him finding forgiveness and mercy.
Learn also from Judas
----------who bought the lie and died in despair thinking Christ would never forgive him. Jesus would have. God’s grace and mercy is boundless and Jesus’ blood covers ALL sin – including ours.
彼得和猶大,都犯了罪,結局卻不同:
彼得犯了罪,傷心悔改但不失望,他回到主那裡找原諒,結果,他得到了神的祝福.
猶大犯了罪,傷心,內疚,可惜自己接受了Devil的控告和譴責,以至失望地絕望了,他不是回到主那裡找原諒,而是自己把自己給譴責死了.
因信得生,不光是開始我們信的時候,還是我們直達終了的一直保護的路,信心.
