Its encouraging to read what you have written. I am recently born again but sometimes i feel like am not, sometimes am scared about tomorrow/the future and i know i shouldnt because i have Christ in me. Please remember me in your prayers that i may grow stronger in my faith in Christ and also be a bold witness of Christ/the gospel.

Robin, please don't doubt God's ability to forgive. His grace is limitless. He is so much greater than us that our sins are nothing when compared with him. He loves you and wants you to be with him forever. <i>Father I pray for Robin; may Robin know your peace. I pray for Marhorie and others that may have been hurt by Robin's actions. May the pain and suffering, hardships and worries cause us all to move closer to you. In Jesus' Name, Amen.</i> Grace and peace, Tim Yes, Bill’s article on “The Last Letter” was very insightful.

I am in fear of death and need to get right with Jesus Christ. I have done so much evil that I've lost faith in God's ability to forgive me. Please pray for a pure heart before the Lord and that He fully forgive me for serving the devil and persecuting and trying to destroy His people. I humbly ask the Lord to save my soul and give a purpose for my life that is His will. Life is hell on earth without the presence of the Father and the SOn and their love and forgiveness. Please pray for me and for those whose lives I've hurt and tried to destroy especially Marhorie and her family and my family as well. I read that God's mercy covers a multitude of sins. I pray that this includes mine. Thank you for Hope in Jesus. Thank you for your leter The last Letter. I am in fear of death and need to get right with Jesus Christ.

Wed, 17 Sep 2008 07:00:00 +0000 http://hopeforlife.dreamhosters.com/?p=55#comment-343 I never looked at it that way. That's also probably why I have such a hard time grasping the fact that I will hopefully live forever after Christ's return (and all that good stuff...) It seems impossible, even though I know its not. It's just something I haven't experienced, so I can't fully understand it. I never looked at it that way.

But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.” (Romans 8:24-25) Our eternity with God is something that we hope for, in the sense that we haven't seen it yet and have to wait for it. But we can be fully confident of our eternal destiny, because of what Jesus has done. In the original language, the word "hope" can also be translated "expect." We haven't received it, but we confidently expect it. Keep on hoping! Grace and peace, Tim Sara,
