No Forgiven Sin Is Bigger Than God's Call

“Come now, and let us reason together,”

Says the Lord,

“Though your sins are as scarlet,

They will be as white as snow;

Though they are red like crimson,

They will be like wool.”

“If you consent and obey,

You will eat the best of the land;

But if you refuse and rebel,

You will be devoured by the sword.”

Truly, the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

Isaiah1:18-20

Do you think your sin is too big for God to forgive?  Do you think your sin has forever barred you from ministering as a servant of God? 

Think again.  God says He will forgive you.  Jesus came to forgive all sins, not just the small ones.  When we confess our sins, repent and ask Jesus to be our Lord, Master and Savior, we are new in the eyes of God.  As far as God is concerned there is nothing that prohibits us from ministering in His name.

However, we still may face the problem of people and what they think.  The barriers caused by our sin might not so easily be reconciled with humans.  Therefore, what then should we do? 

We can find places to minister where others are not ministering.  We can serve the homeless, we can work with refugees, and we can organize neighborhood services to provide lawn care to those who need help.  We can create an awareness of the needs in our community.  God will provide us will more opportunities to minister than we can humanly do alone, and God will send people to help us.

No forgiven sin is bigger than God’s call.
