How do Jesus` words make you feel? You may want to save your answer as "Private"

Jesus' words gives me light and hope. He helps me to know the reason why I feel bitter is that I have lived in a wrong way because I have had a wrong notation with a life of non-good. He helps me to realize that I am not abandoned or rejected although I did wrongly and I can be better although I was not good.

Once I felt cold about Jesus and his words because I could not imagine how Jesus was like as if his words were stark dogma. But when I know more about the historical background when Jesus was born and lived, and more details about his communications with people, I can feel him and his words more lively than before.

How does being forgiven increase ones love for God? Note: According to Jesus, God`s forgiveness is motivated by love.

Forgiveness means acceptance. Being forgiven means being given opportunity to repent. Although not undo the past, we can change at present and even future. It is hope instead of despair.

I have more confidence in Lord than when I was forgiven little since I did not ask, because I myself have witnessed God's large heart.

No matter how wild I am, God loves me as always. His acceptance makes me calm down and quiet and meek and moved by His deep and strong affection. His acceptance helps me realize how powerful He is and I just esteem and admire Him. With His love and power, I'm willing to repent.

We are allowed by God to turn back although we cannot stop sinning. God knows well about our sinful lives which cannot be changed by ourselves and He knows we cannot help sinning for the seed of sins is inside our lives. He has deep mercy for us and asks us not to achieve the highest score since we are not able to but to follow Him and do our best.

We are sinful to be sure and far from the glory of God. But there is a good news that sins are not the end and we always have a new beginning whenever we ask for forgiveness.

We are not condemned for the Lord Jesus has declared: "God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."( John 3:16-17) Yes, we have sinned but we are not doomed. On the contrary, we are saved by the Lord Jesus Christ and we have the key to get back to eternal life as the very very beginning. And the key is - to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. God desires compassion. He just forgives us when we ask for forgiveness from Him.

We must repent before the Condemnation, which will be the end. Repentance with a sinful life is never easy, we need guide for repentance. Moreover, we need tolerance to repent, that is, forgiveness. Jesus's death for us is greatest forgiveness we have ever had. And still we are forgiven everyday.

What is the Kingdom of God?

The Kingdom of God is the reconciliation between us and God, that is, we can be close to God again although we are still in sin and have been separated from Him for so long a time. That the Kingdom of God has come means He has reigned in our hearts. As long as we submit ourselves to God, His Kingdom is among us. His Kingdom is no longer away from us but has befallen onto us and gets into us when we turn to it.
