The Church is a place for repentant whores and whoremongers. The Church is a place for repentant idolaters and homosexuals. The Church is a place for repentant thieves and coveters. The Church is a place for repentant drunkards and murderers. The Church is a place for repentant liars and gossips. The Church is a place for repentant prostitutes and pimps. The Church is a place for repentant pornographers and rapists. The Church is a place for repentant child molesters and pedophiles.
The Church is a place for repentant people, and so we ought to welcome all of these people and love them fiercely as important members of the body of Christ, remembering that such were some of us, but we were washed, we were justified, and we were sanctified by the blood of Christ
“remembering that such were some of us”
1Jn 3:4 Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness, for sin is lawlessness.
1Jn 3:5 And you know that He was revealed that He might take away our sins, and in Him is no sin.
1Jn 3:6 Everyone who abides in Him does not sin. Everyone who sins has not seen Him nor known Him.
He came to break the “power” of sin in our life….. Lets not practice sin!!!!
