Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, "My child. Your sins are forgiven."
Mark 2:5

Sin is opposition to the loving purpose of the Heavenly Father and undermines the health and wholeness of all who persist in it. Most deadly of all, it separates the unrepentant child of the Father from His Presence.

To destroy the pernicious power of sin I lived on earth and died and rose again, offering each and every child whoever lived or ever will a way of return and a means of restoration.

So all who turn from wilful persistence in sin's deadly thrall and look to Me for restoration and wholeness are liberated and progressed through My redeeming love. So through the sanctifying power of Our Holy Spirit are they brought along the way. And at the last they shall attain the Father's Presence.

All fail not once but many times along the way. But failure can become the instance of success when acknowledged and repented in the power of Our redeeming love.
