“The God of the
Second Chance”
BY
ADRIAN ROGERS
“For I will be merciful to their
unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.”
Hebrews 8:12
Have you ever felt like you have used
up God’s reservoir of forgiveness? Perhaps you’ve thought, “I don’t have a
right to come and ask Him to forgive me again.” Friend, it doesn’t matter how
many times we have sinned.
Suppose you came back to God the
5,000th time with the same sin. Will He forgive you? Yes indeed, He
will. As far as He is concerned, it is the first time you have come to Him.
Why? Because He has forgotten all the other times.
Our God doesn’t hold grudges. He does
punish sin, but He doesn’t hold grudges. The God of Jonah, David, Mark, Peter,
and Jacob is your God and my God. I have come to Him so many times and asked
Him for a second chance. And guess what? He has given it.
If He can give Jonah, David, Jacob,
etc., a second chance, He will certainly give you another chance. Failure is
not final.
