08/21/2022 – Let us meditate on all God has forgiven us, and that we’re not going to hell. Then we will live the day in the thankfulness, love, grace and joy that come out of embracing it, not just knowing it.
He who Loves Much
Monday, August 21, 2023
Messiah told a Pharisee, “He who’s forgiven much, loves much. He who’s been forgiven little, loves little.” Does that mean the Pharisee didn’t have as many sins as the sinful woman? He read Scripture, prayed and gave tithes. He didn’t think he had a lot to be forgiven for. He was just as much a sinner as anyone else, but he didn’t realize it. We’re all infinitely separated from God and need His infinite forgiveness. The one who loves more is the one who realizes they’ve been forgiven more and receives it. Believers who think they really don’t need a lot of forgiveness are the ones who will love less, rejoice less, and live less on fire for God. But those who know the ugliness of their sin and the immense price paid, know that without God there’s nothing. You’ve been forgiven an eternity of judgment. That’s enough for you to become a person who loves much, forgives much, rejoices much and lives all out for God. Because Messiah has done it, and that’s enough for you to live a life of love and joy.
From Message #730 – The Pharisee and The Prostitute
Scripture: Psalm 145:20

“The Lord watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy.” Psalm 145:20
The devil and his minions know it; they refuse to embrace it.
