He wants to forgive EVERYTHING you have ever done wrong! :) Check this verse out from the Bible... "For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have ALL men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." (1 Timothy 2:3-4) -- After you DIE it will be too late to be saved... "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the JUDGMENT" (Hebrews 9:27) -- WHY DO WE DESERVE TO GO TO HELL? Because we have sinned by breaking God's laws! Exodus 20:1-17 explains it... *LYING...brakes God's 9th commandment. *STEALING...brakes the 8th commandment. *Looking at someone with LUST makes you an adulterer at heart (Matthew 5:28).You've broken the the 7th commandment. *Have you ever used God's name as a curse word? You've broken the 3rd commandment, and God says He will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain! *Hatred breaks the 6th commandment. God says it's the same as murder. That's right, hatred in God's eyes is the same as MURDER! (1 John 3:15) The Bible says in James 2:10 "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all." -- Everyone is guilty... "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" (Romans 3:10) "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" (Romans 3:23) -- Hell was originally created for the DEVIL and the Angels who sinned against God (Matthew 25:41) but we will go there without His forgiveness for our sin! GOD DOES NOT SEND ANYONE TO HELL. WE choose where we are going to spend eternity. Even LIARS will go to hell ... "But the fearful (those that cause fear), and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all LIARS, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." (Revelation 21:8) -- 1BassJohn...we can't just tell God that we are SORRY for what we have done wrong, or think that GOOD WORKS will save us. THAT'S WHY CHRIST HAD TO DIE FOR US... "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8) "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His MERCY He saved us..." (Titus 3:5-7) -- Jesus Christ was SINLESS. He didn't have to die. When He died it was to PAY YOUR SIN DEBT in full... God made Jesus Christ to be sin for us, who knew no sin; so that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. (2 Corinthians 5:21) "In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace;" (Ephesians 1:7) -- You can be saved RIGHT NOW! Simply believe that Jesus Christ died for YOUR sin, and rose from the dead to justify you before God... "Christ died for our sin according to the scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures." (1Corinthians 15:3-4) "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness." (Romans 4:5) "For the wages of sin is death; but the GIFT of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23) -- 1BassJohn, If you put your faith in God to save you, and you want to pray and thank Him, you can use the prayer below as a guide to help you. Just pray... Dear God, I know that I have sinned against you, and that my sin would send me to hell forever! I believe that your Son Jesus Christ paid for all of my sins on the cross by shedding His innocent blood for me, and that he died, was buried, and then rose from the dead to justify me before you forever and give me eternal life as a free gift. Thank you for saving me! In Christ's name I pray. Amen. -- The SIN issue between you and God is now settled... "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." (Romans 5:1) -- Your SECURE IN CHRIST now that your saved!!... "In whom [Christ] ye also trusted, after that, ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise (14) Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory...." (Ephesians 1:13) "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth NOT the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him."
