Let Him!

Romans 5:6-11 (NKJV)
6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.
8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
11 And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

Jesus died at Calvary to take care of your sin problem once and for all time. You MUST let Him take care of it. – G. Alfter

Reconciliado a Través de Cristo

Romanos 5:6-11 (NVI)
6 En verdad, como éramos incapaces de salvarnos, en el tiempo señalado Cristo murió por los malvados.
7 Difícilmente habrá quien muera por un justo, aunque tal vez haya quien se atreva a morir por una persona buena.
8 Pero Dios demuestra su amor por nosotros en esto: en que, cuando todavía éramos pecadores, Cristo murió por nosotros.
9 Y ahora que hemos sido justificados por su sangre, ¡con cuánta más razón, por medio de él, seremos salvados del castigo de Dios!
10 Porque si, cuando éramos enemigos de Dios, fuimos reconciliados con él mediante la muerte de su Hijo, ¡con cuánta más razón, habiendo sido reconciliados, seremos salvados por su vida!
11 Y no solo esto, sino que también nos regocijamos en Dios por nuestro Señor Jesucristo, pues gracias a él ya hemos recibido la reconciliación.

Godly Sorrow

2Corinthians 7:8-11 (NKJV)
8 For even if I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it. For I perceive that the same epistle made you sorry, though only for a while.
9 Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing.
10 For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.
11 For observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all things you proved yourselves to be clear in this matter.

Godly sorrow is a good thing–it leads to repentance. – G. Alfter

Tristena Divina

2 Corintios 7:8-11 (NVI)
8 Si bien os entristecí con mi carta, no me pesa. Es verdad que antes me pesó, porque me di cuenta de que por un tiempo mi carta os había entristecido.
9 Sin embargo, ahora me alegro, no porque os hayáis entristecido, sino porque vuestra tristeza os llevó al arrepentimiento. Vosotros os entristecisteis tal como Dios lo quiere, de modo que nosotros de ninguna manera os hemos perjudicado.
10 La tristeza que proviene de Dios produce el arrepentimiento que lleva a la salvación, de la cual no hay que arrepentirse, mientras que la tristeza del mundo produce la muerte.
11 Fijaos lo que ha producido en vosotros esta tristeza que proviene de Dios: ¡qué empeño, qué afán por disculparse, qué indignación, qué temor, qué anhelo, qué preocupación, qué disposición para ver que se haga justicia! En todo habéis demostrado vuestra inocencia en este asunto.

Separated From God

Isaiah 59:1-4 (NKJV)
1 Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened,
That it cannot save;
Nor His ear heavy,
That it cannot hear.
2 But your iniquities have separated you from your God;
And your sins have hidden His face from you,
So that He will not hear.
3 For your hands are defiled with blood,
And your fingers with iniquity;
Your lips have spoken lies,
Your tongue has muttered perversity.
4 No one calls for justice,
Nor does any plead for truth.
They trust in empty words and speak lies;
They conceive evil and bring forth iniquity.

Separado De Dios

Isaías 59:1-4 (NVI)
1 La mano del Señor
no se queda corta para salvar,
ni es sordo su oído para oír.
2 Son vuestras iniquidades
las que os separan de vuestro Dios.
Son estos pecados los que lo llevan
a ocultar su rostro para no escuchar.
3 Tenéis las manos manchadas de sangre
y los dedos manchados de iniquidad.
Vuestros labios dicen mentiras;
vuestra lengua murmura maldades.
4 Nadie clama por la justicia,
nadie va a juicio con integridad.
Se confía en argumentos sin sentido,
y se mienten unos a otros.
Conciben malicia
y dan a luz perversidad.
