Excerpt from Reverend Ann’s book – THE MYSTERY OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS
Jesus said that;- “he that is forgiven little, loves little. Luke 7:47”
Once you see your sins as TRIVIAL, minor or LITTLE, you are an IGNORAMUS concerning GRACE. You will not be able to see the VALUE, COST and IMPORTANCE of Grace. You will not be able to see the TREASURE in being in the dispensation of grace and MERCY. Paul saw himself as a chief of all sinners who experienced great forgiveness and mercy that he didn’t deserve or work for. He knew that forgiveness to him was just given freely because it’s a free gift but he was also very aware that it Costed God His very ONE and ONLY SON and it costed Jesus His very OWN LIFE. It was sooo expensive from God’s side and Jesus side. But God Had to do that so that in our side it can come as a free gift so as we don’t have to be charged any coin/ anything while getting it or receiving it. We ONLY Obtain it through BELIEVING in Jesus Who Obtained it for us. Just believing that He actually got that forgiveness for you so that you can be set free eternally.
Forgiveness is God’s power to remove barriers, to loosen bonds, to set people free, enabling us to lay down distorting burdens. Forgiveness is God’s gifting of His people in ways that move us to gift others.
In forgiveness; God sees us in the FULLNESS of who we are in Him, in all our CREATIVE, inspired BEAUTY, no matter what has happened in our lives.
When God’s forgiveness touches a sinner’s heart, love sprouts and GROWS.Jesus sees our inner BEAUTY and cherishes us however we are.This is how Jesus treats anyone who comes to Him by faith, no matter how terrible their sins are. Jesus said in John 6:37 , THAT “All those the Father gives Me will come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will never drive away”. When a thief on a cross sincerely repented and asked for mercy, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise. Luke 23:43.”
we need to have a deeper realization of God’s grace. We need to recognize how deep the pit of sin had taken us, but also know and acknowledge that His Grace has also increased.. grace much abounds in weakness…..
As we deeply and FULLY become conscious of this, His love grows in our hearts. As we realize that we are forgiven much, then we are able to love much.
Our Loving God deeply is as a result or as a RESPONSE of seeing how much He Has forgiven us and removed us from deep messes of life.
By understanding How great is His forgiveness towards you, you just feel overwhelmed by His LOVE and you just start ADORING Him and expressing your GRATITUDE to Him with love, THANKSGIVING and WORSHIP, SERVICE for others, willingness to obey His LEADINGS in all your daily motives and agendas.
Our loving God is as a response of Him FIRST loving us while we were still unlovable, stinking in sin and in filthy state. We first experience His love, forgiveness, kindness, mercy, pardon, goodness , then His love, mercy, forgiveness in us makes us able to love Him and others back.( Romans 5:5)
The secret to loving God much is contemplating the IMMEASURABLE DEBT Jesus paid for you and how vast is His Love, Grace and Mercy to you. Because the more you realize the height and width and breadth and depth of Jesus’ forgiveness, the more you will love Him.
Have a fresh revelation each day of Who He is and how He sacrificed Himself on the Cross for you.
Those who understands the weight of being forgiven much, they don’t forget the Forgiver.They realizes the INFINITE love of the FATHER and they wholeheartedly EMBRACE Him. They know the ENORMOUS cost to God in extending forgiveness. God paid a high PRICE to extend forgiveness. Our sins required justice/ payment which was death. ( Penalty of sin is death Romans 6:23).
His WONDROUS LOVE is a deeply embedded treasure within our souls. No one can take it away from us because nothing and no one can be able to separate us from His love for us ( Romans 8:38-39).No matter how difficult and challenging life becomes, His love overflows and guards our hearts and minds.
Be grateful for the GRACE !. HALLELUJAH!.
So, it’s those who sees forgiveness as unspeakably PRECIOUS reality that have love for God.
We need to have fresh APPRECIATION of His Grace, Love and Mercy.
Allow His love to fully burn and ignite power in your heart so as you can be able to circulate what is in you to others and you will see great increase in your midst.
Receive a fresh fragrance and glimpse of the sheer beauty and wonder of Jesus in your spirit right now in Jesus Name
