Hiii Everyone,

I am religious teenager love God love Life, anyways in the bible it says not to judge so im not judging this person on the account that they are trying hard, anyways to make a long story short,

My friend is 14 and she has had s*x but now wants to become a christian but feels so ashamed by what she did that she doesnt think God will want her but God will except her if she keeps her Christian way. I've been studying the bible lately but cannot think of any good verses that may help her to boost her confidence to come towards God =( I really need some good bible verses about how God will always except you. Im still reading and hoping to find some soon.

Thankyou Everyone, God Bless!

  1. God accepted the one crucified along with Jesus Christ. He repented and accepted the Lordship Of Jesus Christ.


  2. one says god is married to the back slider, or go to the verses about David how he had a man murdered to get with his wife ect but it says he was a man after god's own heart,explain the concept that god forgets all sins that are confessed to him and being born again aka saved means that everything you did in the past is in the past which to god is like it never happened

  3. 2 Corinthians 5:17 - Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

  4. A God Who Is “Ready to Forgive”

    “MY OWN errors have passed over my head,” wrote the psalmist David. “Like a heavy load they are too heavy for me. I have grown numb and become crushed to an extreme degree.” (Psalm 38:4, 8) David knew how heavy the burden of a guilty conscience could be. But he found comfort for his troubled heart. He understood that while Jehovah hates sin, He does not hate the sinner if that one is truly repentant and rejects his sinful course. With full faith in Jehovah’s willingness to extend mercy to repentant ones, David said: “You, O Jehovah, are . . . ready to forgive.”—Psalm 86:5.

    When we sin, we too may carry the crushing burden of a pained conscience. This feeling of remorse is healthy. It can move us to take positive steps to correct our mistakes. There is, however, a danger of becoming overwhelmed by guilt. Our self-condemning heart might insist that Jehovah will not forgive us, no matter how repentant we are. If we become “swallowed up” by guilt, Satan may try to get us to give up, to feel that Jehovah views us as worthless, unfit to serve him.—2 Corinthians 2:5-11.

    Is that how Jehovah views matters? Not at all! Forgiveness is a facet of Jehovah’s great love. In his Word, he assures us that when we manifest genuine, heartfelt repentance, he is willing to forgive. (Proverbs 28:13) Lest Jehovah’s forgiveness ever seem unattainable to us, let us examine why and how he forgives.

    Why Jehovah Is “Ready to Forgive”

    Jehovah is aware of our limitations. “He himself well knows the formation of us, remembering that we are dust,” says Psalm 103:14. He does not forget that we are creatures of dust, having frailties, or weaknesses, as a result of imperfection. The expression that he knows “the formation of us” reminds us that the Bible likens Jehovah to a potter and us to the clay vessels he forms. (Jeremiah 18:2-6) The Great Potter tempers his dealings with us according to the frailty of our sinful nature and the way we respond or fail to respond to his guidance.

    Jehovah understands how powerful sin is. His Word describes sin as a potent force that has man in its deadly grip. Just how strong is sin’s hold? In the book of Romans, the apostle Paul explains: We are “under sin,” as soldiers are under their commander (Romans 3:9); sin has “ruled” over mankind like a king (Romans 5:21); it “resides,” or is “dwelling,” within us (Romans 7:17, 20); its “law” is continually at work in us, in effect trying to control our course. (Romans 7:23, 25) What a powerful hold sin has on our fallen flesh!—Romans 7:21, 24.

    Hence, Jehovah knows that perfect obedience is not possible for us, no matter how earnestly we may yearn to give it to him. He lovingly assures us that when we seek his mercy with a contrite heart, he will extend forgiveness. Psalm 51:17 says: “The sacrifices to God are a broken spirit; a heart broken and crushed, O God, you will not despise.” Jehovah will never reject, or turn away, a heart that is “broken and crushed” by the burden of guilt.

    Does this mean, though, that we can presume on God’s mercy, using our sinful nature as an excuse to sin? Certainly not! Jehovah is not guided by mere sentiment. His mercy has limits. He will by no means forgive those who hardheartedly practice willful sin, not showing any repentance. (Hebrews 10:26) On the other hand, when he sees a contrite heart, he is ready to forgive. Let us now consider some of the expressive language used in the Bible to describe this marvelous facet of Jehovah’s love.

    How Completely Does Jehovah Forgive?

    A repentant David said: “My sin I finally confessed to you, and my error I did not cover. . . . And you yourself pardoned the error of my sins.” (Psalm 32:5) The term “pardoned” translates a Hebrew word that basically means “lift up” or “carry.” Its use here signifies to take away “guilt, iniquity, transgression.” So Jehovah, in effect, lifted up David’s sins and carried them away. This no doubt eased the feelings of guilt that David had been carrying. (Psalm 32:3) We too can have full confidence in the God who carries away the sins of those who seek his forgiveness on the basis of their faith in Jesus’ ransom sacrifice.—Matthew 20:28.

    David used another vivid expression to describe Jehovah’s forgiveness: “As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.” (Psalm 103:12, The Amplified Bible) How far is east from west? In a sense, east is always at the utmost distance imaginable from west; the two points can never meet. One scholar notes that this expression means “as far as possible; as far as we can imagine.” David’s inspired words tell us that when Jehovah forgives, he puts our sins as far away from us as we can imagine.

    Have you ever tried to remove a stain from a light-colored garment? Perhaps despite your best efforts, the stain remained visible. Notice how Jehovah describes his capacity for forgiveness: “Though the sins of you people should prove

  5. 2 Corinthians 5 v. 17

    Romans 8 v. 38, 39

    I hope it'll help ??  

  6. Romans 3:23

    So she is not already a Christian? And are you sure she really wants to become one now? Be sure of that first--you wouldn't want to lose a friend by making her feel like you're trying to convert her.

    -IMP ;) :)  

  8. She will not find what she needs in Bible verses, but in the love and care of others.  This is how the love of God is shown in real life.  Reading about something is not the same as experiencing it.  There is no reason for your friend to feel that God does not love her or does not accept her just the way she is.  Jesus himself accepted people just the way they were.  Perhaps your friend should talk with a clergyperson about her concerns.

  9. Well, you must point out that King David was a murderer and an adulterer, and the bible describes him as "A man after God's own heart."   Acts 13:22 (cf. 1 Sam 13:13-14)

    Abraham *twice* pretended he wasn't married to his wife, to protect his life, and getting the kings who wanted her for her beauty into deadly trouble.   He said she was just his sister, and it turns out (Genesis 20) that she *was* his half-sister!  

    And these are the heroes of the bible.

    If they can be forgiven, when repentant, who can't be, according to the bible?

    But then I'm an ex-Christian atheist.

  10. Rom. 3:23 ; Rom.5:8; Rom. 6:23, and Rom. 10:9-13. L8R!

  11. John 6:37

    "However, those the Father has given me will come to me, and I will never reject them."

    Romans 5:8

    "But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners."

    And of course, John 3:16

  12. Read the Prodigal son in Luke 15. Just remember the father in the parable represents God, and the son can be a daughter as well.

  13. What a beautiful friend you are.  In the Bible John 1:19, Ephesians 1:7, Psalms 103:8-14, Psalm 51:7, 1 John 4:10.

    I hope his helps GOD knows we will never be perfect only through HIS son JESUS whom we accepted the gift of when HE gave it on the cross for our sins. But we just ask GOD to forgive us and help us daily.

    Be Blessed
