Question What about mistakes?

Just a quick one, that may have been dealt with elsewhere but all the same..

Can/Does God, in his sovereignty and grace, act to cover the ill effects of error in the same way that he can redeem us from sin?

What if something happens as a result of a genuine mistake rather than deliberate sin? It's hard to repent of a mistake, but I believe God can act to redeem situations where there has been injury, suffering or pain as a result. Is this wishful thinking or is there a biblical basis for forgiving/redeeming/healing mistakes or even accidents?

Hope someone can help...! Thanks.

Bible

It is only Human to ere, But it is Very Godly to Forgive . In saying that where do We get these Qualities to Forgive another? We get them From Our creator ,God the Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ He will Forgive time and again, 77 times, Or infinitely, the whole concept of true Forgiveness comes From God and He is Quick to Forgive and Mighty to Deliver . You can Count on Him to do Just that......God Bless You Miyako in all You do in Your Walk with Him....Dave

1 Peter 4:1-8


1Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
2That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
3For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
4Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
5Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
6For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
7But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. 8 above all things have fervent charity (love) among yourselves: for charity (love) shall cover the multitude of sins.

And we know the love we have comes from God. - "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God." 1 John 4:7
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Romans 8:28 - "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."

Sometimes I think we beat ourself up more than the enemy does. We will do things intentionally and somethings we will stop doing. We will make mistakes and God knows that- that is why he sent Jesus. So when you align your self and accept Jesus as your personal savior and God looks at you he sees Jesus.

An accident was not on purpose. What is being read is your heart. In your heart is the truth. It's what you really believe. Your mind thinks all kinds of things but, when the heart steps in that's how you really feel.

Example. Someone can tell you God is a healer and so you confess with your mouth God is a healer - that's the mind. If a situation arises where you sick and you can call on the Lord for healing then that what's in your heart because you know in your heart that God will heal you.

Don't worry..... worrying is not of God and we all have to change our mindset so we an learn not to do that and know our Father has us. We must practice it to we get prefection. Learn to turn it over to God and say Lord i made a mistake and forgive me and then forget about it and try not to put yourself in a situation where it can happen again. Stay Blessed!

All The Glory Belongs To God!

1Jn 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

The Bible is full of stories of people who made mistakes, and how God used those mistakes - or not - to do a fuller work in their lives.

In Genesis (which I am reading now), Abraham makes the mistake of telling his wife to tell people that she is his sister (this is not a lie - she is his half-sister). The leader takes her into his harem. God appears to him and tells him that he did wrong. The man restores his wife and gives Abraham many gifts.

With this lesson we can see that God will *sometimes* act on our behalf if we are weak and make bad choices.

Keep reading through Genesis and you'll see a book full of imperfect people making mistakes, and God being gracious.

I hope this little answer helps you.
