Clear the Roadblocks
Basic Gospel
Published on 05/30/2017
Growth. Transformation.These two words characterize those who know Jesus Christ. Or at least they should.However, far too many believers live stymied lives. They want to grow and change, but their past sins keep getting in the way.My friend Stephanie was like that until she fully embraced the message of the cross. The simple truth of God’s forgiveness cleared away the roadblocks that keep her from growing in Christ.It’s tough for Christians to fully accept that they are 100% forgiven.But it’s true.If you feel like you’ve stopped growing in Christ, let these words clear away your roadblocks: “I write to you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven on account of His name” (I John 2:12).
