Do you ever think you’re too far gone for God to care about you? That you’ve done things too horrible to be a part of God’s family? Do you think you’ve ruined your life forever and there’s no way home, no way out? Well, there’s good news. You’re never too far gone for God. Jesus Christfully God and fully humandied on the cross for sin and rose from the grave, beating death. If our faith is in Him, no sin is unforgivable and no person is unfit to be used in God’s kingdom. Think about all the bad people in the Bible that God used for His glory. Before Paul knew Jesus, he was a leader in Christian persecution. He arrested all the Christians he could find. Even after he put his trust in Jesus, people thought he was lying! But God made him into one of the greatest missionaries in history. He traveled through all of Europe and parts of Asia, teaching everywhere about the gospel. Think about Moses. He murdered an Egyptian and then fled into hiding in the desert for years. God came to him, in the form of a burning bush, and then used him as a spokesperson to release His chosen people from slavery. He performed ten deadly plagues through Moses, and to top it off, parted the sea for the Israelites to cross over! Think about David. He was a murderer and an adulterer. Even though he committed these terrible sins, God was willing and ready to forgive him. David prayed for forgiveness, and God forgave himjust like that! If you think you’re too far gone for God to forgive you, think about these peoplethe terrible sins they committed and how God forgave them willingly. And here’s the great news: Jesus will do the same for anyone. Yes, get that! Anyone. God will forgive anyone who asks Him, no matter what they’ve done. You’re never too far gone for God. Samuel Robbins Have you ever thought you’re too far gone for God? Why? Read 1 John 1:92:1. Is there any sin too great for Jesus to forgive?
