Can You Really Regain Your Virginity?

But if the wicked will turn from all sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

Ezekial 18:21

On Sunday, I went to a different church and mass. It was a youth mass and the young preacher was very effective. At one point during his sermon, he let the young people know they could get their virginity back.

After the initial shock, I realized he did not mean technically or scientifically. The preacher meant a person could spiritually regain their virginity by confessing, asking for forgiveness and doing what is right from that point forward.

We all have the same opportunity for rebirth. Yesterday I asked everyone what we could learn from George Michael's song "Faith". We know Michael struggled with sexuality issues and addiction. He still realized in his song he needed to wait for something more.

None of us should settle but we need to get actively involved in our redemption. Jesus died on the cross so sinners could be forgiven. All we need to do is ask for that forgiveness and go forward following His laws.

Each day is a new opportunity to do better. He gave us all the gift of redemption if we really want it and reach for it. No matter what your sins of the past, your present and future can be bright. It's up to you.

Have you ever felt your sins were so bad you could not be forgiven? Did you ever feel the burden lifted when you asked for forgiveness? Have you turned away from a sinful life and how does your new lifestyle make you feel? Please feel free to comment or share your own posts at Gathering4Jesus.

Have a beautiful, blessed day!
