conclude_v first_o for_o motive_n know_v you_o can_v never_o true_o love_n god_n till_o your_o sin_n be_v forgive_v you_o you_o will_v think_v god_n be_v not_o your_o god_n till_o your_o sin_n be_v forgive_v but_o if_o you_o find_v that_o your_o sin_n be_v forgive_v you_o you_o will_v love_v god_n then_o to_o purpose_n you_o will_v love_v god_n then_o in_o truth_n and_o in_o strength_n mary_n love_v much_o why_o many_o sin_n be_v forgive_v she_o now_o unless_o you_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n you_o can_v have_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o your_o sin_n and_o so_o you_o will_v be_v question_v whether_o god_n love_v you_o or_o whether_o he_o be_v not_o a_o hard_a god_n and_o a_o hard_a master_n and_o doubt_n pardon_v your_o sin_n and_o so_o you_o can_v love_v god_n true_o and_o love_n god_n with_o strength_n if_o therefore_o you_o will_v love_v god_n with_o truth_n and_o strength_n believe_v in_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n that_o you_o may_v know_v your_o sin_n be_v forgive_v second_o this_o believe_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n make_v our_o person_n very_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n eph._n 1.6_o he_o have_v make_v we_o accept_v in_o his_o belove_a how_o

to_o believe_v in_o his_o son_n do_v exalt_v the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n god_n have_v make_v all_o the_o promise_n to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o in_o christ_n they_o be_v all_o yea_o and_o amen_n
