"I Am Too Great a Sinner"

Some who say this really suppose they are too wicked to be forgiven. In many cases, however, it is only mock humility serving as an excuse for continuance in sin. There can be no doubt but that you are a great sinner, and far worse than you imagine.
“But you have no idea how wicked I am.”
I don’t know and what is more, I don’t want to know. But one thing I am certain of, God knows all about you. Since you were an unconscious baby in your mother’s arms, He has watched over you and loved you with more than a parent’s love. In spite of your sin and folly, He stands with outstretched arms ready to receive you, saying, “Come now, and let us reason together... though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” Isa. 1:1818Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. (Isaiah 1:18). “Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.” John 6:3737All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. (John 6:37).
Though a “great sinner,” you are not beyond the reach of His pardoning mercy, and you may now receive the full and free forgiveness of all your sins by believing on the Lord Jesus, who died for you. “The Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Luke 19:1010For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. (Luke 19:10).
