Hello friends! I want to talk about sin and the effect it has on our relationship with God. Many churches proclaim a message that says that sin separates us from God but that is NOT TRUE! The bible says that there is NOTHING that can separate us from God's love and since God is LITERALLY love, then there is nothing that separates us from God, INCLUDING SIN! Sin can only mess up our relationship with God if we choose to focus on it. God forgives and forgets! And that can be shown with all the verses that tell us that God is with us and will never abandon us. Even to the extent of if someone went to hell, God said that He'll still be with us! And God is a promise keeper so when He says something then He'll do it! So the next time you hear someone tell you that sin separates you from God, let em know that it doesn't!
'And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.'
