Ours For The Asking

And they were bringing children to Him so that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them.

But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, “Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.  Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all.”

And He took them in His arms and began blessing them, laying His hands on them.

Mark 10:13-16

There are those who seek to make God’s forgiveness complicated by suggesting one must work for forgiveness or clean up their life before they can be forgiven.  But that is not what Jesus said. 

Jesus said we are saved by believing; believing that Jesus is the Son of God, that He died for our sins, that He defeated death once and for all, and asking Him to be our Lord, Master and Savior. 

We receive God’s forgiveness like children, because we are His children.  Forgiveness is ours for the asking.
