“Above all, you ask if the God of Christians forgives those who do not believe and who do not seek faith. Given the premise, and this is fundamental, that the mercy of God is limitless for those who turn to him with a sincere and contrite heart, the issue for the unbeliever lies in obeying his or her conscience.” IfsFirstsBelieveHeartChristianLyingTurnsAsksLimitsConscienceMercyFundamentalsForgivingAsk MeSincereBelieve In GodPremisesObeyingMercy Of God Author:Pope Francis
“I am a patient man--always willing to forgive on the Christian terms of repentance, and also to give ample time for repentance. Still, I must save this government, if possible.

“Dear lost sinner, if you are a wicked sinner, yet you do not have to die and go to Hell forever. If you are a criminal or a harlot, a blasphemer, a drunkard, a convict, or a dope fiend, God does not want you to go to Hell. People do not go to Hell simply because they are sinners. Rather they go because they will not repent of their sins! If you today will confess your sins to God, and in your poor, helpless heart, will, as far as you know how, turn away from your sin, God will have mercy and will forgive and save.” PeopleIfsKnowsWantHeartDoeGodTodayChristianDiesTurnsLostReligiousSinPoorLordKnow HowHellForeverForgivenessMercyForgivingDearCriminalsChristian InspirationalGods WillWickedSinnerRepentanceEditorsTrust In GodConfessionHelplessPastorRepentAlcoholicsConfidence In GodDopeGo To HellGod Within UsMighty GodDrunkardsConvictsConnecting With GodSave YourselfGod Help MeHarlots Book:The Ruin of a Christian Source: The Ruin of a Christian

“The Christian life is a thank-you from beginning to end as we ponder what God has done. What an absurdity to think that we could ever bargain with God, as if there were anything we could put on the table. Nothing we can do would ever earn his favor. Yet all is ours for free. And the cross reveals his willingness to forgive not just once, but over and over and over again. How can we repay such extravagant, generous love? We cannot and need not, and the heart's only answer is gratitude.” IfsThinkingNeedsHeartEndsDoneChristianLife IsCan DoAnswersGratitudeCrossesTablesForgivingFavorsChristian LifeGenerousWillingnessAbsurdityBargainsPonderingExtravagantGenerous Love Author:Rebecca Pippert
