“A man planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a pit for the winepress and built a tower, and leased it to tenants and went into another country. I have shared my story to maybe 1 or 2 people and have always felt that the mistakes I did in my past was too big for God to forgive.
And saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” And Samson said to the young man who held him by the hand, “Let me feel the pillars on which the house rests, that I may lean against them.” Now the house was full of men and women. Jade Lewis was 1) unashamed of her story, 2) accepted her mistakes and sins, 3) brought her mistakes and sin to God and 4) experienced the full extent of grace and redemption of forgiveness and freedom of sin. For those of us who didn't know her prior, she is an amazing, powerful woman of God who struggled with heroin addiction for years and the only thing that broke her away from her sin and her addiction was coming to know the Lord as her Saviour in a Christ-centred drug rehabilitation place in Esperance, WA.She shared her incredible testimony and journey of redemption, hope, grace, and forgiveness. In between being a busy mother to three young children, together with her husband who is a pastor, she spends her time building safer communities and stronger families, providing support to families struggling with drug addiction, and presenting drug prevention programs in schools, the community as well as intervention seminars. ... She shared pictures of how she looked "high" on heroin, and shared stories of how she ended up being with an abusive drug-addicted partner during her heroin days and how she messed up her family, even influencing her one and only sister to also turn to heroin.I felt amazed and enthralled by God and what Christ can do for us if we are truly repentant and God's amazing grace and redemption, but at the same time, I couldn't stop wondering to myself: "Is there a sin too terrible for God to forgive? Then when Judas, his betrayer, saw that Jesus was condemned, he changed his mind and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders, saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” They said, “What is that to us? For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. I watched how confident she was in sharing her testimony and making it her story, one that no one could take her down with or judge her with. And when their hearts were merry, they said, “Call Samson, that he may entertain us.” So they called Samson out of the prison, and he entertained them. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Isaiah 43:25, ESV I, I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. “It doesn’t matter what I do; God will forgive me.” “It doesn’t really matter what you believe, as long as you’re a good person.” These questions all point to a more fundamental issue: does God punish us for our sin? And lastly in Isaiah chapter 1, verse 18: "Come 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. And he sent another, and him they killed. But in Christ, we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.
... but Christ who lives in me. That despite of all I have done, the mistakes and terrible sins I have committed, I gave my heart up to Christ once again, fully accepting my sin but instead of internally absorbing it and letting the guilt and unworthiness have a hold on me, I gave it up to our Lord and He took it away from me. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. And now why do you wait?
Blot out my transgressions.
For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. And so with many others: some they beat, and some they killed. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.
