Sin

So many of us see ourselves as unworthy of God's love. Somehow we believe we have been forgotten by God or have so many mistakes, or our mistakes are so bad that God just doesn't care about us any more.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Look at these words from Romans 9:22-26

²² What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction? ²³ What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory— ²⁴ even us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles? ²⁵ As he says in Hosea:

   “I will call them ‘my people’ who are not my people;
   and I will call her ‘my loved one’ who is not my loved one,”^[i]

 ²⁶ and,

   “In the very place where it was said to them,
   ‘You are not my people,’
   there they will be called ‘children of the living God.’”^[j]

 

You can see that God desires us to be in relationship with God, our mistakes do not matter. God has 

called us his people. 

Live in this confidence from scripture
