God does listen to the prayers of sinners who truly repent. God is so abundant and more generous in his forgiveness towards others..HE is greater than our hearts and HE knows everything! We as Christians are not perfect only Christ is and that's why we need to confess our sins on a daily basis. We need to ask God to cleanse ourselves with the Blood of Jesus Everyday as the spirit leads us. This is also necessary before worship! Let us not limit God's Love. Jesus is more willing to forgive any sinner who repents. It is not the same as taking God's mercy for granted. God knows and understands our weaknesses and he is always ready for those who have gone astray and come back to him. Though we walk in the truth and the ways of God it is not our righteous acts that save us. We are saved by HIS righteousness! We depend on His righteous as we are cleansed BY HIS BLOOD as the Holy Spirit convicts us!
The New testament is about LOVE AND MERCY..Jesus represents himself as a Total GOD OF LOVE! Must we think he wont have a heart for people who seek his forgiveness with a true heart? And by what standards do we call others sinners and tell them that they will not be forgiven. God is More gracious than we can even imagine! That is why JESUS taught us to pray 'Forgive
our sins as we forgive those who sin against us'.
God's love and grace be with you all!
God bless!
