— “Failure isn’t final. Grace goes deeper than sin.”
📖 Summary
The Gospel speaks firmly yet tenderly to those who’ve fallen.
Sexual sin is serious, but grace is greater.
True repentance doesn’t live in shame —
it returns to Christ and begins anew.
1️⃣ Introduction | “Isn’t it too late for me?”
Many say,
“I’ve already failed.”
“God must be disappointed.”
But God’s mercy is not exhausted by our mistakes.
He calls the broken not to despair,
but to start again in grace.
2️⃣ Biblical Foundation | Grace Is Stronger Than Sin
📘 Isaiah 1:18 (ESV) — “Though your sins are scarlet, they shall be white as snow.”
📘 John 8:10–11 (ESV) — “Neither do I condemn you; go, and sin no more.”
📘 2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV) — “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.”
📘 Psalm 51:10 (ESV) — “Create in me a clean heart, O God.”
→ The Gospel doesn’t erase the past — it redeems it.
