Answer 1

we are so unworthy every last one of us, it is his gift to us. his love for us no mind can put into words or comprehend yet it is still there. undeserved as we are he still loves us. you made a mistake join the club, he forgave st. peter whom denied him 3 times and forgave countless others. you are amongst these and hold fast to his mercy.

Answer 2

God doesn´t give you what you deserve, he gives you what you need. That´s God´s grace.

We can´t understand His love, but truth is he loves you, not your sin, but yourself. He know how we all would be without sin. He wants to restore you, and bring you into a vibrant relationship with Him.

If you honestly decide to change, embrace Jesus as your Lord and Savior and ask him to forgive you, he will, and he will also change your life.

We all have abandoned Him at some point, that´s why He sent His one and only son Jesus to save us from the punishment from our sin, adopt us into His family and give us eternal life, all you need is to honestly embrace Jesus and ask him to forgive you. Take the decision to change and let Jesus do it.

Embrace Jesus´, and He will change your life. He just did it with mine. Jesus is the Lord of my life.

Answer 3

When Christ went to the cross he knew he was dying for people who were not perfect. He knew we'd all make mistakes, becuase we have a very advesary who is both a tempter and an accuser.
If you truly regret sinning against him, he will certainly forgive you. His word says as much and who is God that He would lie to us?

We all make mistakes, Lord knows I am not perfect, but in my heart I try to do what is right and I try to avoid sinning.

Answer 4

Unconditional Love. Just as a good parent still loves their children even though they have done wrong. Jesus died on the cross so that we don't have to worry about sin. EVERYONE sins. As long as we don't go looking for sin, Jesus shall forgive us all.

Answer 5

Greetings Friend,

God sees you exactly as God created you - perfect! Only you believe that you are some how different from the way God created you. You are God's child and of course S/He loves you. You think you have sinned and therefore wonder how you could possible be forgiven, but God does not see your 'sin'. All S/He sees is your perfection, which you never lost. God cannot forgive you, because God has never condemned you. Only you see yourself as some how different from the way God created you. God does not. What you see is a dream. I gently call to you my friend, "Awaken."

sending love,

Answer 6

forsaking another human (Jesus) is not a crime or sin...
I'm sure Jesus would still Love You...

so you're OK;

but You need to accomplish this and start Your journey back home, to Heaven:

Eliminate religion from Your Life, A.S.A.P.;

Freedom of religion is Freedom FROM religion; religion is Spiritual fraud;

Universal Truth eliminated religion from Spirituality a long time ago;

Here's the Solution for religion:

Create a Private, Personal, Direct, Divine Relationship with Our Creator and save Your Soul from religion's and atheist's beliefs and start Your journey back home, to Heaven.

<<<<<<< UnConditional Love is the only answer >>>>>>>

Love and Believe in Our Creator;
Love and Believe in Yourself.

Only with Our Creator's Love and Peace will we be Truly Free!

Answer 7

Read the Word, The prodigal son does return. No worries, He will always love you, Just as I love my children and would forgive them of anything so does He. More than that even.

Answer 8

Yes, Jesus still love you.

Very few of us deserve His love.

Here are a couple of quotes about God as Love from C. S. Lewis that I really like:

"He [God] has paid us the intolerable compliment of loving us, in the deepest, most tragic, most inexorable sense. .... Love, in its own nature, demands the perfecting of the beloved; ... mere "kindness" which tolerates anything except suffering in its object is, in that respect, at the opposite pole from Love."

"You ask for a loving God; you have one ... not a senile benevolence that drowsily wishes you to be happy in your own way, not the cold philanthropy of a conscientious magistrate, not the care of a host who feels responsible for the comfort of his guests, but the CONSUMING FIRE HIMSELF, the Love that made the worlds, persistent as the artist's love for a child, jealous, inexorable, exacting as love between the sexes..."

"The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell."

With love in Christ.

Answer 9

God has forgiven you your sin's by the death and resurection of his son Jesus. You need to realize this and forgive yourself, for you are clean before the lord.

Answer 10

His love is dependent on His character, not your behavior.

He died on the cross to pay for your sins. Because a perfect God couldn't take imperfect people into His family and stay perfect.

When I accept Christ as Savior, my sins are forgiven and I enter the family of God, not because of what I do, but because of what He has done.

I'm not perfect, just forgiven
