If truth has been faithfully communicated, why doesn't everyone who hears it respond in the same way?

Christian, if you have stopped, start again. God hasn’t counted you out. Continue in all the things which you have learned and have been assured of.

Overwhelming guilt, believing that we’re beyond help, and feelings of unworthiness can keep us from receiving God’s loving grace and forgiveness.

To grow your faith this year, remember that God is on your side, that challenges are overcome by his power alone, and be sure to be aware of his working in your life.

When you can’t explain the things that happen to you, you can hand over your concerns to the One who can more than handle them, and who is in control.

Forgiving yourself is not something Christians have to do. Our sin and guilt must be laid at the foot of the Cross alone.
