Further, while there are many examples of God refusing to hear sinners, there are also many examples of God actually hearing sinners (Ac. 8:22-23; 9:10-11; 10:4, 31; 1Jn. 1:9). So, it is simply wrong to say that “God NEVER hears sinners!”
The sinner's prayer usually goes something like this: "Heavenly Father, I know that I am a sinner and that I deserve to go to hell. I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins. I do now receive him as my Lord and personal Savior.
God will have nothing to do with evil, and He will not hear an evil man's prayers. Fortunately, as Peter tells us, “God is not willing that any should perish” (2 Peter 3:9). So, even in the 11th hour of life, a person can be saved and become a child of God. But he must be sincere.
When God sees us, he no longer sees our wickedness because our sins have been paid for and cleared by the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. In other words, justice has been served on our behalf. Through Christ, God is perfectly just in loving people who once hated Him and sinned against Him.
God's wrath is on sinners.
In John 3:36, he does not say, “The wrath of God will come on [the disobedient].” He says, “Whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.” It is already there.
God's forgiveness and love are unconditional. He loved us while we were still sinners (Romans 5:8) and we cannot earn His love by our good works. We are forgiven based on the perfect work of Jesus Christ. God does, however, require repentance in order to grant forgiveness.
Why Does God Get Angry? In the Bible God gets angry at human violence. He gets angry at powerful leaders who oppress other humans. And the thing that makes God more angry than anything else in the Bible is Israel's constant covenant betrayal.
Do I still go to heaven? THE ANSWER IS YES!!! When Jesus died on the cross, he paid the penalty of sin for all who believe in him. He died for your past, present and future sin.
God Is No Longer Holding Men's Sins Against Them
Although unbelievers aren't saved, their sin is forgiven.
The Bible teaches us that God blesses both believers and nonbelievers in various ways. Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:43-45: "You have heard the law that says, 'Love your neighbor' and hate your enemy. But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!
Seventy-seven times. That's how many times the Bible tells us we should forgive someone. Matthew 18: 21-22 21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” 22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.
Be open and honest with God through prayer and admit that you have made mistakes. Once you have confessed your sins, ask for help. “By this ye may know if a man repenteth of his sins—behold, he will confess them and forsake them” (D&C 58:43). If possible, you should repair the damage your actions have caused.
According to John 9:31, “God does not hear sinners.” However, God pointed out His only exception: the only prayers He hears are those asking for salvation.
One eternal or unforgivable sin (blasphemy against the Holy Spirit), also known as the sin unto death, is specified in several passages of the Synoptic Gospels, including Mark 3:28–29, Matthew 12:31–32, and Luke 12:10, as well as other New Testament passages including Hebrews 6:4–6, Hebrews 10:26–31, and 1 John 5:16.
We are forgiven as we accept the mercy offered by Jesus Christ. It is in this way that our natures can be changed. In ancient times, the rituals and sacrifices of the law of Moses pointed the Israelites to the Savior's Atonement.
Heaven will be a place of joy, not pain.
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away” (Revelation 21:3-4).
Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. On the contrary: 'If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
Even before God became man, it's clear throughout the Old Testament that God feels sorrow, even weeps for the crushing blows of His people. Psalm 34:18 promises us that “the Lord is close to the brokenhearted.” How can you be close to someone who is brokenhearted and not feel their pain?
Loving kindness, justice and righteousness make Him happy. God not only delights in these things, but does them! God not only delighted in loving kindness, justice and righteousness. He delights in them now.
Babies are not born sinners! No person is a sinner until he or she violates God's spiritual law (1 John 3:4). Babies do not have the capability to commit sin. Logic and common-sense dictate that the idea of “original sin” is contrary to the very nature and character of God.
6:14-15). While we're clearly called to love, serve, and work with non-believers, Paul says not to be “unequally yoked” with them. What does it mean to be unequally yoked? The answer lies in the contrast to being yoked with Jesus, who says, “Take my yoke upon you.” (Matthew 11:29).
“They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world” said Jesus in John 17:16. Jesus told his followers: “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how will it be made salty again? It is good for nothing anymore, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men” (Matthew 5:13).
