Forgiveness

When someone hurts you or ticks you off what do you do? Most people will stay angry but come around and forgive. But some people don't. They can't accept that that person who hurt them is human. People make mistakes and we have to give the second chances. If we don't forgive than we create a wall between you and them. It makes you secluded from everyone and you start to think that world is out to hurt you. It can also go from the other side of the perspective. Example you and God. You hurt God almost on a daily basis. You sin all the time but God is alway's ready to forgive. So why do so many people not accept forgiveness? Because they have done so many things wrong to one so many people but in Gods eyes they were all done to him. They think that they have done so much sin to one person that they could not be forgiven. Or they don't want to admit what they have done is wrong so they search for a religion that says that no matter what they do they're perfect. First of all Christianity is not a religion it's reality. It doesn't matter who you are you're sinning against a loving God and you are hiding from him. It's time to face those fears and admit that you are a sinner. You're not perfect and I bet plenty of people you know could vouch that. So why are we afraid of God? Media and people portray God as an angry tyrant who can't stand us. How could we think that? If that was the case we'd have a Noah's Ark situation. We have a loving God. A God who forgive the dumbest and most evil sin's. You might think you can hide from him but he is omnipresent(always there). So what if you never are forgiven? You might have a little punishment on earth but the amount of sin we commit is to long of a list of punishment it can't all be done here. So you receive the full punishment in hell. I hope I don't sound to critical but this is the case. God did not create hell and he doesn't want us to be afraid because there is no reason to be afraid. God is the you're get out of jail free card. All you need to do to be saved is accept him. So are you forgiven?
