Gangs, Forgive God's People!

2 Peter 4: 8, "And above all things have fervent love for one another, for love will cover a multitude of sins."

This letter of repentance is for anyone who is, was and is thinking about being a gangmember.

I am a minister of the gospel of Jesus, the Christ, the Messiah, Lord and Savior of the world! I confess to you that the Church, the Body of Christ, has been unloving and unaccepting of many of you, thereby causing you to feel rejected by God and His people!

This is not so! The Lord loves you so much! He loves all of His children the same, no matter what they have done, where they have been and even if they have cursed Him with their words and their ways! He sent His Son, Jesus, to be a sacrifice for all sin! The Bible says that we are all sinners! Therefore, the only way to be forgiven of sin is to repent (turn away )from our sinful ways, open up our hearts to Jesus and receive His unconditional love for us and the free gift of salvation!

So, I am here to tell you that you are greatly loved by the Lord! Even though, many of the people of God have not known how to love you, help you, reach out to you, forgive you and accept you, Jesus has never rejected you! Will you please find it in your heart to forgive the leaders of the Church, the pastors, elders, and the brothers and sisters that didn't show His precious love to you?

Even if you have done horrendous things, no one is beyond the extended and loving hand of Jesus! Won't you consider opening your heart to Him today? If so, you can pray like this:

Lord Jesus, thank You that I no longer have to feel the rejection of the Church and I no longer have to hold bitterness in my heart toward those who name the Name of Christ! Father, I chose to forgive everyone in the Church who scorned me, hurt me and rejected me and I open my heart to You, Jesus, as my personal Lord and Savior! Lord, forgive me of my sins, wash me clean of all unrighteousness and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. Help me to learn Your Word, the Bible, and live it! I love You, Jesus and I thank You for accepting me and welcoming me into the family of God in Jesus'Name, Amen!

(You are now a new creation in Christ Jesus, the beloved of the Lord! Pray and ask God where you should go to attend church and be sure to get a Bible to study and learn. New believers should be baptized in a church and should join a Bibly study group to learn the ways of the Lord!)
