A Pardon For Your Sins.

Acts 3:19 “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;”

Folks when we all began to think of things to be thankful for never forget your sins have been blotted out. The words “blotted out” means - to smear out, that is, to obliterate – and the word forgiven means to bestow a favor unconditionally as a verb; and a dismissal, release as a noun; either way it is a true blessing from God. God said "Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered." Romans 4:7 that is covered by the glorious blood of Jesus Christ. Oh how sometimes we so soon forget what God has done for us, if you are saved it is because God has saved your soul. From start to finish He guided you through the blessing of His glorious grace. The Lord reminds us in Ephesians 2:10 "For we are his workmanship..." because He is our Saviour. “Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved my soul;” what wonderful words.

Folks your sins are covered; enjoy being a child of the living God! Never in eternity will you ever have to pay account for your sins because Jesus has already paid that price. They are covered; pardoned; and forgiven what a blessing. We as believers only have to worry about serving our God; our Saviour; and none else. Is that hard for you to find time for church; the Lord; prayer; bible study? If it is then maybe you need a revival in your heart. Sometimes things get old if you do them to much, for example offering thanks for food can get old if you repeat the same prayer over and over, sometime the same songs get old if sung over and over, and sometimes going to church and serving the Lord can get old if we do the very same service every time. We all need to keep ourselves revived in spirit and that revival starts with remembering what God has done for you by pardoning your sins. We must be reminded so that serving God never gets old. I was told as a young preacher that observing the Lords Supper looses it’s significant’s if observed to much and so does anything else if we don’t have a revival within and that starts by remembering what God has spiritually done for us. Folks your sins are forgiving, you need nothing else and remembering that begins the revival within.

The Lord concluded in our text scripture “…when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;” have you ever on a hot day drank a cool glass of water and when you were finished chugging it down go ahhhhhhhhhh, well that is the case here; if nothing else refreshes your spirit into a revival this remembrance of your pardon should. Folks I pray you attend church often and are as active as you can be, I hope your life is in service for the Lord; and I hope you often remember Gods pardon for your sins because that forgiveness has the power to revive you.

If you do not know the Lord then “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out…” after you are saved you may be hated of this world, you may be condemned by many but God has forgiven you sins and has made you His child forever. Psalms 51:1 “...Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions."
