God’s 2nd Chance…

God’s 2nd Chance…
August 14, 2010

When I have done sin I was feeling so bad but God always give the 2nd chance. Yes there are consequences for doing sins but God always forgive. We can not run away from the consequences. But after that God give us 2nd chance to repent and to live a better life.

Being a Christian is not like an angle and everything like heaven. Being a Christian always has burdens and some times the burdens push us to make sin. Even burdens can make us a sinner; we can always fight and win.

We lose when we stop to fight. Like the Ephraim, they sin more and more because they stop to fight. When they stop to fight, they can not get the 2nd chance from God anymore even God provided 2nd chance for them.

I ever make sins in my Christian life. There are many kind of sins I have made. But I always fight and win. I seek advice from other Christian, I seek help from other Christian, I open my life to other Christians, I read the bible to find out what kind of sins I’ve made and how I can get through it and win. Yes, I received the consequences but I finally win. I’ve got the 2nd chance.

When Ephraim spake trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died. And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.
Hosea 13:1-2 (KJV)

I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.
Hosea 14:4 (KJV)
