Glory Be to God

A) Jesus loves me. Even when I mess up, He loves me. I in turn should accept myself as a child of God and find joy in my Savior. (John 3:16) (1 John 4:10)

B) I am a sinner. No doubt. (Romans 3:23) (Romans 6:23) (John 8:34)

C) Jesus came and died a painful death, that I might have eternal life in heaven with Him. He loves me so much that He died for me. He died, then he rose again on the 3rd day. (Romans 5:8) (Romans 5:6) (Romans 8:34)

D) I still sin, but I am no longer a sinner. Christ's blood covers my sins and takes them away. I am forgiven. (Isaiah 53:5) (John 8:36)

E) I should live life with full abandon - as I am a pure child of God - blameless and without sin in His eyes. (1 John 3:3) (Phillipians 2:15)

F) I will sin, but I am forgiven. God will use my weaknesses for His strength. This does not, however, give me free license to sin - if I am truly a Christian I shouldn't desire to sin any longer. Sin has lost it's grip on me. (1 John 1:9) (2 Corinthians 12:9-10) (Romans 6:1-2)

Romans 6:1-2 --
What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?

1 John 4:14--
We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. 

Acts 20:24 --
However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me - the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace.
