How many times will God forgive the same mistake? The Israelites kept making the same mistakes over and over again – they turned away from God and made wrong choices.
Do you ever feel like you keep making the same mistake over and over again? Sometimes I do. But the Bible tells us that each time we are truly sorry for our sins, God will forgive us! 1John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”
The Bible also tells us that God’s strength can help us make right choices and turn away from sin. Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
Do you have a sin in your life that keeps showing up? Talk to your mom and dad about it. Ask them to pray with you and ask for God’s strength to make right choices. And remember, each time you make a mistake; God is ready and willing to forgive you!
The two verses mentioned above are verses that your whole family should know! Memorizing God’s word is always a right choice!
Family Challenge: Set a goal that each member of your family will memorize the two verses above by the end of 1 week, 2 weeks or 1 month (whatever works for your family). Once everyone can recite the verses, celebrate by making ice cream sundaes with whipped cream and cherries on top!
