Past Mistakes

[elijah23]

When we repent of our sin, do we still have to worry about our past mistakes?

No, we are forgiven. A criminal will still have to finish his prison term, but the Lord will come into his life and bring him peace and contentment.

Past mistakes can at times help us overcome some challenges facing us.

Whenever I think of past mistakes, and I've racked up plenty in 50 years, I am always reminded of a verse that is one of my "life's verses":

And we know that God causes <sup class="crossreference" value='(BG)'></sup> all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are <sup class="crossreference" value='(BH)'></sup> called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28

If by "still have to worry about" you mean "still have to suffer the consequences of", the answer is yes. If a school bus driver drives drunk and kills ten kids, he's always capable of repentence and recieving the grace of God, but I still want his license taken away and for him to do prison time.
