• He judges the wicked severely (Ps 7:11; Rev 21:8,27).
• He chastens saints severely (Acts 5:1-11; I Cor 11:30).
• Saints are polluted in His sight (Job 42:5-6; Isaiah 6:1-7).

You Are Legally Forgiven (1)
• Jesus paid for elect’s sins – past, present, future.
• God forgave elect legally through Jesus (Eph 1:3-8).
• There is total peace with God for Judgment Day.
• There is no variation at anytime in this standing.
• The key here is faith and works to prove election.

You Are Legally Forgiven (2)
• This is a once-for-all forgiveness to legal holiness.
• Nothing can ever be laid to your charge legally.
• There is no starting over legally – it is finished!
• Yet … as foolish rebels … we continue to sin.
• These sins bring grief, guilt, and God’s chastening.

What Happens When You Sin?
• You grieve and offend God and bring chastening.
• It should not happen, but it does happen, often.
• You lose fellowship with God and are dried up.
• But … there is practical forgiveness for fellowship.
• And … this forgiveness is only by your repentance.

Why Is Starting Over Hard?
• Proud by nature, you hate humble confession.
• You are depraved and resent admitting wrong.
• You let Satan discourage you with fiery darts.
• You let him overwhelm you with doubts and fear.
• He makes God or us harsh and forgiveness hard.

You can start over with God any time.
No sin is too big for Him to forgive.
No sinner has too many sins to forgive.
You cannot start over too many times.
It all depends on the factor! R

Example of the Prodigal Son
• At all times he was the legal son of his father.
• But by rebellion he lost fellowship with his father.
• The father used “dead” only for lack of fellowship.
• Fellowship needs … (1) the rebel’s repentance.
• Fellowship needs … (2) the father’s forgiveness.

In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves;
if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil,
who are taken captive by him at his will. II Timothy 2:25-26

What If More Sins than One?

• But also polygamy, numbered Israel, murderous anger at Nabal, moved Ark wrong, and bad father!
• PETER … denied Jesus with oaths and cursing the night of His greatest need after promising loyalty!
• But also played the hypocrite at Paul’s home church in Antioch of Syria for a public rebuke!

Are There Any Warnings?
• Repentance is more than temporary lip service!
• Elect do not use this gospel offer for license to sin!
• We do not chase scorners … so show some !
• God does not wait forever … He can hide from you or judge you (Pr 29:1; Is 55:6; Rev 2:21)!
• We must honor like God, or we get torment!

God Forgave Israel by Repentance
20 Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the LORD. 21 A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God. 22 Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God.
Jeremiah 3:20-22
