Just about everyone loves the underdog. There is that inward desire in most of us to see those struggling, those undervalued, those who have failed or been forgotten to overcome and succeed. We want to see unfairness corrected and the down and out lifted! We believe in the God of the second chance!
Proverbs 24:17 (NKJV) Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;
Wouldn’t it be great if you could start all over again? We have all done things we wish we wouldn’t have. We have all said things that we wish we could take back. Is there any way we can get a do-over? Is there any way our sins can really be forgiven? Can we truly get a second chance in life? YES!
Proverbs 24:16 (NKJV) “For a righteous man may fall seven times And rise again, But the wicked shall fall by calamity.”
There is hope for a fresh start! Jesus Christ gives second chances. He loves to take our messes and turn them into something beautiful. He loves to forgive us and give us new life. If you feel stuck or struggling with your past, know that there is hope. You can have a new beginning. According to the Bible, I can be forgiven for all of my wrongs and receive a second chance in this life.
Psalm 103:12 (NKJV) “As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.”
Maybe that’s what you need today as you read this. Your marriage is falling apart. Your life is in tatters. You have made some very wrong decisions that have led you down a path you regret. Are you addicted to drugs or alcohol? Is pornography blinding your spiritual eyes?
Don’t ever think it’s too late to change. You can change today. It’s not something you can do by yourself, but with God’s help, you can turn things around.
You must be born again!
John 3:3 (NKJV) “Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
If you want hope for a second chance in life, hope for your marriage and family, and hope for freedom from addiction and pornography, you need to surrender yourself to God. You need to have a new spiritual birth or repent and return to the Lord!
You can have a new beginning. You can be forgiven. You don’t have to stay stuck in your sin. Jesus provides hope for the hopeless, and He is ready to give you a second chance today! All you need to do is repent and put your trust in Him.
