COT:
Are you ever too far gone? Beyond the reach of God’s love?
This is one of those cases where a superlative is actually appropriate. Never means never. But what if you messed up your life/family/Sinned really bad?/Walked away from the faith. The same miracle working God who worked with the dead breathless body of Jesus to become the risen King can breath life into your soul.

My strange place for encouragement but let’s check out lamentations 3:21:
But this I called to mind and therefore I have hope. The steadfast line of the Lord NEVER ceases. His mercies NEVER come to an end. They are new EVERY morning. Great is Your faithfulness!

(Pardon the punctuation I’m going from memory and the caps I added. )

COT
Second chances
1 Cor 6:9-11 9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

I got into some serious trouble as a middle schooler and betrayed a close friend by breaking into his house and stealing from his family. I believe that God’s hand played into receiving mercy and avoiding long term consequences for my actions because he had other plans for me in his kingdom. I needed a second chance.

The Latin word for common is vulgar. Aren’t the things the common man thinks and does vulgar? That is why God is sanctifying us. Sanctification is the verb process of making holy or setting apart. God is taking us out of the common and setting us apart for his use. The sins of your past may or may not be mentioned in 1 Cor 6 but they are mentioned elsewhere and your sins are no better than anyone else’s and their sins are no worse than yours. Regardless, let them be your past, not your present or future.

Allow God to continue in his sanctification of you for his purposes and make the most of this second chance.
