Thy Sins Are Forgiven

"There was a certain creditor which had two debtors:  the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.  And when they had nothing to pay, he frandly forgave them both.  Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?  Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most.  And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.  And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman?  I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet:  but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.  Thou gavest me no kiss:  but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.  My head with oil thou didst not anoint:  but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.  Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven:  for she loved much:  but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.  And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.  And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?  And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee: go in peace "

St Luke 7:41-50



Jesus Christ loves and forgives you no matter how many times you have sinned.  He does not count our sins but forgives us when we come to Him in repentance, (true repentance).  Though man may judge sin and put it into a particular category Jesus does not. "  All unrighteousness is sin"  I John 5:17 

Man may look at the sin and tell you that you can't be forgiven, but Jesus looks at the sinner and says, "Here I am, just come to me in repentance.  All your sins are forgiven.  Your faith have saved you.  Go in peace."
