We Ought to Love the Lost

     Let us love the lost with the Gospel of Grace and Peace; that is, we can love Him more and more, for He is truly precious to His people and He is the Lord Most High.  The Gospel is about forgiveness of sin through a faithful repentance that spiritual salvation is through our Lord and Redeemer Jesus Christ.  We proclaim the forgiveness of sins, iniquities and transgressions through Him who loves us to the uttermost.  The most vile sinner is welcome to Him and our Lord offers to His people a peace that surpasses all understanding.  I have this peace that God gives to His people.  You can have it too through repentance and faith to Him who saves His people with deep unwavering love, mercy, forgiveness, loving-kindnesses and abundant compassion.  We ought to forgive our neighbor when they have wronged us.  We should forgive as God forgives us.  We can come to God with numberless sins and we can't forgive our brother?  We must forgive because Jesus has His tenderhearted compassion and loving-kindnesses where He forgives our sins.  We ought to forgive the most meanest things done to us, because in our forgiveness is something divine; that is, it comes from our Lord and His Spirit through the proclamation of His Word.  "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors" is in the Lord's Prayer.  Let us show the love of Jesus through an embrace of His love to every rebel sinner!  May His free grace be proclaimed through the preaching of the Word of God by His Spirit.  Jesus proclaims "Come unto Me" and he will in no wise cast thee out because He accepts all that the Father brings to Him.  Remember, no sin is so great as to damn us so we can approach the throne of grace with repentance in His name to stand for Jesus Christ our Rock and Redeemer and Defense Attorney.
