No, if you have genuine sorrow for your sin He will welcome
you with open arms. Jesus said, “I came
not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” Those who are sick need
a doctor, not the well people. Of course we are all sinners, but those who
think they are o.k. will not come to be healed. If you are feeling sorrow for
your sin Jesus is calling you and will make you His own. This is not remorse that you have messed up
your life, but sorrow that you have displeased God. Can you hear Him calling
you, “Come to me and I will give you rest.” Come with confidence in Him and
discover that you are His child and all your life He has been calling you and
guiding you to this moment when you find him to be your Saviour.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
