Today,
reply is on the proper focus for living our best lives as developing
Christian believers. Sinners who turn to GOD through Jesus Christ
are not to spend their time complaining, despairing, moping,
quarreling and debating within themselves, confessing weakness, or
proclaiming fear. All are supplied with sacred knowledge,
life-giving testimony, and inarguable witness that allow those in
Christ to continue the Savior's work of sharing comfort, direction,
and exhortation. It is written: Ephesians 2: 8-9, King James
Version (KJV): 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that
not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works,
lest any man should boast. The fighter in the “Yahoo! Answers”
public forum on Religion & Spirituality who uses the ID “Floyd”
(Level 1 with 146 points) posted the following:
How
far will god forgive?
For
the past two years, I have lived in guilt over my sins. Some big and
small. It's a constant burden waking up knowing you can't live your
best life with this. I know god is forgiving, but how can he forgive
me? I feel like I have a one way ticket to hell, and there is no way
out of it. If I pray, confess, accept the blood of christ and change,
will God really help me?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into
Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried
with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up
from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk
in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the
likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his
resurrection: Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him,
that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should
not serve sin. (Romans 6: 3-6, KJV)

“Floyd”,
living your best life becomes possible through Jesus Christ who
provides multiple levels of newness and divine fullness. There must
be choosing new focus and choosing new knowledge that come by our
acceptance of the water baptism experienced by Jesus (that usually
features death of the inborn spirit with rebirth from divine DNA) and
his resurrection life (the new life granted to Jesus following his
crucifixion and burial). Errors, sin, and transgressions are not
primary for mankind’s redemption
and salvation during this season of divine grace and revelation. The
otherwise hidden and invisible character and nature of GOD are being
imparted to those who become “born again” and who receive fresh
endowments of the life essence (breath; spirit; utterance;
word) bestowed on mankind from the makeup of GOD at Creation.
Inseparable aspects of the divine fullness are received that include
balance, faith, holiness, humility, personhood, wisdom, and wrath
against sin. Those born again must also “grow up again” and
become mature/ripe for harvest from the earth by the Lord at his
coming. Developing believers are to exist as the new creation
of Jesus Christ who are being transformed through discovery, gradual
growth, sacred practice, study of the holy writings, suffering, and
unselfish service. The joint-heirs with Christ will be made
perfected through their final judgment and the Savior’s
advent (Second Coming). Consider again the following that uses
language from the Bible, and a selection from the music ministry of
Donnie McClurkin:
(1.)
Psalms 103: 1-4, King James Version (KJV): 1 Bless the LORD,
O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his
benefits: 3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy
diseases; 4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth
thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
(2.)
Psalms 103: 6-14, KJV: 6 The LORD executeth
righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. 7 He made
known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. 8
The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to
anger, and plenteous in mercy. 9 He will not always chide: neither
will he keep his anger for ever. 10 He hath not dealt with us
after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 11 For
as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy
toward them that fear him. 12 As
far as the east is from the west, so far hath he
removed our transgressions from us. 13 Like as a father pitieth his
children, so the LORD pitieth them that
fear him. 14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are
dust.
(3.)
1st John 4: 18-21, KJV: 18 There is no fear in love;
but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He
that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19 We love him, because he
first loved us. 20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother,
he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen,
how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 21 And this commandment
have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
(4.)
1st John 4: 1-8, KJV: 1 Beloved, believe not every
spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many
false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the
Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is
come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not
that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is
that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it
should come; and even now already is it in the world. 4 Ye are of
God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he
that is in you, than he that is in the world. 5 They are of the
world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth
them. 6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is
not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and
the spirit of error. 7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love
is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For
example, (5.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xcEX4aP8Sk

Even
so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according
to your faith.
