Being Convicted of Your Sin

To say that God is love therefore He forgives sin is not being convicted of your sin. To be convicted of sin means a brokenness about ones self to fully realize you deserve no forgiveness. It is as David said, " Against You only have I sinned." We cannot approach the Throne of God for forgiveness without the New Nature offered to us in Jesus Christ. The miracle is this: Sinners receive the righteousness of Christ when they receive Him as Savior. It is on the righteousness of Christ that God forgives, not on a basis of love alone.
