| Typical African Market. |
In the downtown Market in Pita, Guinea, West Africa, we had
a stall. There amongst the shoe sellers and odds and ends we had books in
French, Arabic as well as cassettes AND Bible society comic books about Abraham,
Elijah – the Prophet of Fire, The Life of Jesus etc.
Many young people would come and chat. We often spoke of the
Good News of Isaa. (Jesus in Arabic) One day as we were sharing the Good News with a small group
of people, this one young man, a school teacher, asked, “Can I be forgiven?
He explained his situation. I have made my girlfriend pregnant. I love her very much but the family will not allow me to marry her. What am I to do? Can God forgive me?” By this time he was very distraught and tears were welling up in his eyes. We explained to Mamadou that Jesus came to died on the Cross to take our punishment and reconcile us to God. If we confess and forsake our sin He will forgive us our sin and cleanse us for all unrighteousness.
The only answer to our sin and undoneness is to turn away from sin in true repentance. Then to turn to Jesus, the One and Only Saviour, in true Faith, believing that He will forgive us because of the Cross of Calvary.
“There is Salvation in no other, for there is no other Name
under heaven whereby we must be saved.”
CAN I be forgiven by God? YOU SURELY CAN!
| Wherever you are THE Message is the SAME. Turn to Jesus and Be forgiven!!! |
