Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name! Deliver us, forgive us, and purge away our sins for Your name's sake. - Psalm 79:9 (AMP)


Why would God deliver us and forgive us for His Name's sake?  Most of us think that He delivers and forgives us for our sake.  

However He does it for His sake as well.  If He didn't deliver and forgive us, He would be eternally separated from us, the creations He loves so much.  

This way, by giving us a choice to accept what Jesus did for us, He won't be separated from all His creations.  Only the ones who don't accept Christ.  He doesn't want them to perish.  His heart aches because they must be separated from Him, but He rejoices over us that will be eternally safe with Him.

Have you received Jesus as your Lord and Saviour?  Do you believe Jesus died to pay the price for your sin?  That He was raised from the dead?  Then just pray aloud, "Lord Jesus, I repent of all my sins.  Come into my heart and be my Lord and Saviour."  If you believed in your heart and confessed with your mouth, you are Born-again.  Let us know if you prayed this prayer.
