Can God Forgive a Sinner?
By Rev. Dean Beaty 5/18/11
Ephesians 1:4 “…He hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the
world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:” (KJV)
Can God forgive a sinner, who has cursed in His Son’s name?
Who has murdered just for pleasure as though it were a game?
Can God forgive a sinner, who has lived a life in sin?
Who mocked at God’s salvation, with no righteousness within?
If that one will trust Christ whose shed blood the vict’ry won,
And ask God for forgiveness in the name of His dear Son?
Yes! God can grant forgiveness and claim him as His own,
And bring him home to heaven to bow before Christ’s throne.
You ask, how can that be, to grant grace to such a one?
Because the price was paid by the death of God’s own Son.
That’s why the Savior came, to save the worst of men.
Those who see their need can by Christ be born again.
God’s overwhelming love was before the world began.
To redeem us for His own was then the Father’s plan.
But what could pay the price for sinners such as we?
The blood of Jesus Christ as shed on Calvary.
There is no other way but by grace through faith alone.
No works of righteousness could our debt of sin atone.
By the humble act of faith in Christ God’s only Son,
He will cleanse your heart of sin and your new life thus begun.
Romans 5:6-9 “For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even
dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died
for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” (KJV)
