Acts 3:19

Acts 3:19 - Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away... (NASB)

I love this about God. It doesn't matter where what our background is, or what our sins are. We repent, and our sins are wiped away. Not just the sins in the past, but in the future too. That's an incredible situation. I love reading Romans, because it talks about the fact that we are so free from sin that it doesn't matter what we do. Of course, "repenting and returning" means that we actually change our behaviour, so that we don't go around sinning on purpose, but when I stuff up and do something stupid - that sin doesn't count against me. The cross is just amazing. God is amazing. That he would send Jesus to die to cancel out all my sin... wow.
