Exloring Life Eternal

Mert,

Thanks for your daily exhortations (Hebrews 3:13). Here is one from Richmond VA friends:

A lady, on the bus, named M., is a great reader of books. She has started on one about a defrocked Baptist preacher from Staunton, VA. Being a baptist preacher myself I was interested, I asked what sin he had committed to be defrocked. She said "Accused of adultery."

I mentioned:
King David -- guilty of Adultery and murder
Joseph, Old Testament -- not guilty
Scarlet Letter preacher -- guilty

Then I said 1 John 1:7, "... and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin."

She said she just did not understand that fact.

I said 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

I said David confessed his sin before God alone and is in heaven. I told her it had happened to me: I am forgiven of my sin.

Pray for M.

I love you,
M.O.
