Whoever Has Been Forgiven Much, Love Much – Reminder

“Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet. Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.” Luke 7:44-47 (NIV)

During those years in men’s purity ministry, I have seen some guys who couldn’t abandon their sinful behaviour, no matter how hard they tried. Some had been Christians for many years, including pastors and senior church members. But some could do cold turkey and were newer believers. Those guys were considered the worst sinners compared to the lesser sinners. These guys often sought love in the wrong places. But once they found that hidden treasure, the perfect pearl, a.k.a. “The Unconditional Love”, they would repent and sell everything to buy that pearl. These guys would go the extra mile to reconcile with the people they have hurt and spend the rest of their lives with the purpose of redemption. This true repentance can only come with complete surrender and humility. Once that happens, there is no turning back. The Angels in Heaven sing of joy:

“Last will be First!”, “A lost sheep had been found!”, “A dead man was alive again!”.

As I said before, everyone wept when they received forgiveness for the repentance of sins. But in reality, not everyone.  

“Whoever has been forgiven little loves little”, our Lord Jesus Christ said.

Unforgiveness is a sin. Lying is a sin. Resentment, calling others stupid, and looking at a person with lust are sins. You know what a sin is because you have read the Bible. You don’t want those anymore because you love our Lord and want to be blameless before Him. But the flesh is weak. Why don’t you ask for His help and let Him know you are ready? There is nothing to lose at this point.

With our Lord and Savior, everything is possible.

You only need to ask because it is always about Free Will.

Don’t wait, time is short.
