\f0\fs24 \cf0 Don't be like the pharisee that Jesus talked of in the parable of the pharisee
and the tax collector. You see the pharisee was a sinner yet he thought that it was ok
to continue his own life because he thought that he was obeying the law enough to enter
the kingdom. He was self-righteous. Now many Christians are like this today. They think
that it is ok to continue in sin because Jesus forgives them or Jesus covers for them. So
they are like the pharisee in their self-righteousness thinking that they can enter the kingdom while
they are still sinners. But the sinner, the tax collector knew that he was a sinner and
he was repent. He was remorseful and he cried out to the Lord "Please forgive me for I am
a sinner". And he went home justified why? Because he repented and turned away from his
sin. He didn't continue living the life of a lying tax collector. He had made up his
mind and he repented before God, oh forgive me. And the Lord forgives those who do repent
and they turn away from their sin in remorse like the tax collector did and decide to go
sin no more. That is whom the Lord forgives. He does forgive you who love sin. And then
you claim the Lord to cover you. You claim Jesus to cover you. No those people Jesus
doesn't forgive. He forgives those who are truly repentance and they are truly remorseful
for their sin and they turn away from their evil and they come to the Lord and say "Lord
please forgive me". Cause Jesus loves sinner he will forgive you if you repent and turn
away from your sin and go sin no more. But he rejects those who are proud and think that
they are saved by grace and they just continue in their evil and they have no remorse. He
rejects them. Don't be like the pharisee dear friend. Be like the tax collector who turned
away from his sin he was remorseful and he turned away from his evil and he didn't follow
his evil anymore. Be like him for he was the one who was justified. The pharisee who goes
on in his sin but thinks he is covered, he is not justified but his sin remains upon
him. We all have sinned and we all need Jesus Christ to set us free from sin. But first
we must repent and turn away from all our evil deeds and ask Jesus to forgive us and
he will. And if you are truly remorseful you will truly make that choice and you certainly
will not go back to your evil deeds. May the Lord bless you and I pray that you follow
him on the narrow way and he will guide you into his kingdom...}
