Our Sin's Are Forgiven For God's Sake

"I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for His name's sake." 1 John 2:12

Our sins have been forgiven us for our Father's sake, as well as for our sake! The Blood of Jesus has permanently set us free from sin, so that our Father can use us and perform His works of righteousness through us. This Truth allows us to be truly glorified, which will allow us to truly live! Jesus came and did it all for us to glorify our Father. God wants the whole world to be saved; He wants the whole world to be free, healthy, peaceful, joyful, faithful, and righteous and He wants to use each one of us to accomplish His will!

"A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump." Galatians 5:9 Our Father cannot do all of this if there is any power of sin within us, any at all. The smallest amount of sin hinders God from having fellowship with us. “Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers, for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?” 2 Corinthians 6:14 So to cleanse us completely, our Father sent His Son, Jesus our Savior, and through Jesus' Shed Blood all sin has been eternally removed from us. And now our Father can work His mighty works through the instruments of His affection, which is us!

This Truth is rarely preached: God removed all of the power of sin from us, and He did it not only to benefit us, it’s not just for us, it’s also for Him. Our sins are forgiven us for our Father's Name’s sake. We win and Jesus wins, as God works His mighty works through us! Our Father could use a rock to serve His purposes, but He has chosen us, and thank God that He has! We are a chosen generation and we are a royal priesthood, who have been raised up together and made to sit together in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior! We have been born again and empowered by the will of God to glorify His Name.

“Which were born, not of the will of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” John 1:13 Our Father has willed us into existence to be as He is, so that we all may be used to produce righteous and eternal fruit!
