The Forgiveness, Mercy, and New Life
As human beings we are messy, from birth. As we grow up depending on our surrounds, some may have 'good fruited' parents who have helped you in your life, while others may have parents which were never around to take care of you, or 'bad fruited' parents, who did not care about you at all.
We do not stop growing, and along the way we make friends who will come along that will stay and some will go, and all the while of 'if never having God in your life/ Or maybe not as close to God' there have been horrible mistakes that have been made that have lead to fear, guilt, shame, depression, anger, denial of wrong doings.
Those horrible mistakes and those times you were really horrible to other people and unforgiving, unmerciful, unloving, (in which entails more from just the words themselves in the idea of subcategories lying, cheating, hating, jealously, envy, murder, selfishness).
Did you know you are forgive for all these mistakes? All of these unloving acts of unrighteousness have been forgiven, by God.
How is that possible? The only way was possible was God sending His Son Jesus Christ, the Son of God, down to die for every single human being on earth. Which showed great compassion and mercy from our wonderful, loving, kind, merciful, rightly judging God. Who loved us by doing such and act for all of the world, even the unbelievers here today.
The forgiveness of God is right now as of today if you are a believer in God, and the Lord Jesus Christ you have been forgiven for everything you have done in your past life. All of the past sins that plagued your mind that you run in your head saying 'Maybe I should have done this way, or that way and my life would not be so bad' all of those things you can give to God thank him for forgiving you and let them go.
The Mercy of God is what is being expressed also above, because He knows no one could ever save themselves by the good works they try to do, however God gives us as believers the ability to become Sons and Daughters of Him by having faith and believing. What does this entail for a believer one might ask?
A brand new life, and a death to the old life. This was the symbol of the cross when Jesus Christ had died, buried for 3 days, and rose again. He symbolized a dawning of new life.
The old ways that once were from your unloving, uncaring, lying, jealous, envious, hating others self, is changed into a new life because God gives us each believer a spirit. That we may be able to walk in this new way of life, if we are not walking after our fleshly ways anymore, yet are awaking unto the new spiritual way of life.
This is the new way of life; You can read them in the gospels/ However a condensed version is available from what Paul wrote when writing to the Galatians thousands of years ago.
Galatians 5: 16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
All of this is scriptural: These are out of order but if you read these scriptures you will find truth in them.
This is not probably the only scriptures that can be used: can you find more that can be shared with this posting?
Thank you all for reading, and God bless. Glory be to God, to each of you by the spirit who helped me last night thank you!

2 Timothy 1:
6For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
7For God has not given us a spirit of fear,a but of power, love, and self-control.
8So do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, or of me, His prisoner. Instead, join me in suffering for the gospel by the power of God. 9He has saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works, but by His own purpose and by the grace He granted us in Christ Jesus before time began.b
10And now He has revealed this grace through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has abolished death and illuminated the way to life and immortality through the gospel, 11to which I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher.
Romans 2: 4 Or do you have no regard for the wealth of His kindness and tolerance and patience [in withholding His wrath]? Are you [actually] unaware or ignorant [of the fact] that God’s kindness leads you to repentance [that is, to change your inner self, your old way of thinking—seek His purpose for your life]?
John 1:12 (Believing on the Son of God) But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the right [the authority, the privilege] to become children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name—
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life].
1 John 2:1-2. “My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. ... He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.”
