Forgiveness

[Redrose]

I need some guidance. I am a Christian who rededicated their life to Christ in 2000. God has some wonderful works in my life in the last few years, but now I have a question.

I read about forgiveness of sin today in the New Believers bible. I know that no sin is too big to forgive, however please bear with me as my question is quite serious.

In reading about forgiveness I read that since sin is a deliberate act we cannot blame our sin on our society or environment, our mental or physical state. Romans 8:5 I also read that those who have sinful nature by thinking sinful things will not be free of sin. My question is this:

Forgiveness is a total faith act of Christ as he died on the cross for our sins. He nailed our sins to the cross and wiped the slate clean.

If one is struggling mentally then doesn't God see that this person is still the same person that loves him unconditionally? If this person is not acting in sin, ie: promscuity, drinking, murder, smoking, porno, etc. They are serving God with all of their heart and soul but their mind is challenged, how does he view his child?

Please help

Hi there!




He still loves His child. It isn't God who has moved.

Mr 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

Hi there!



and I would add,

2Ti 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
If there is a struggle in the mind, then claim the promise from God of a sound mind and the power to overcome the struggle.
