HOW DOES JESUS WANT US TO TREAT A BACKSLIDDEN CHRISTIAN? Remind them that–GOD FORGIVES!
Anyone who comes to Jesus can experience what the Scriptures often declare—God is a God who offers His children complete forgiveness. Trace with me again those life-giving words in your hearts as I read them to you. You may even want to just close your eyes so that nothing distracts you from hearing these ten verses:
 
• “… as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us”. (Psalm 103:12)
 
• “ Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the LORD, “ Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool..” (Is. 1:18)
 
• “… But You have lovingly delivered my soul from the pit of corruption, For You have cast all my sins behind Your back. (Is. 38:17)
 
• “I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to me, for I have redeemed you.” (Isaiah 44:22)
 
• “For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.” (Jeremiah 31:34b)
 
• “You will … hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.” (Micah 7:19)
 
• [At the Last Supper, Jesus commanded his own to drink, saying] “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.” (Matthew 26:28)
 
• “She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.” (John 8:11)
 
• “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.” (Romans 8:1)
 
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)
