"And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses."
True believing churchmen have this precious promise that God has, in Christ, forgiven them ALL their trespasses (or sins). This gift in itself is more valuable than all the world; and if God did nothing else for His children, to have one's sins forgiven would bring a lifetime of joy, and reason for praising God.
If you are among the redeemed, recognize from whence you have come. You used to be "dead" in trespasses. Now, because of Jesus' work, you are "forgiven" them. If this will not cause you to love God, nothing ever will.
[Puritan quote of the day: "Some set their bags of money always before them, others set the fear of men always before them, but a wise Christian will set God, judgment, and eternity always before him." --Thomas Watson, in his sermon, "God's Anatomy upon Man's Heart"]
