Does God Still Love You After You Sin? What Jesus Told Peter

Have you ever wondered if God is finished with you after you fail again? In today's Daily Hope, we look at what actually happens the moment you repent, and it is not what most people expect. In the Old Testament, after Nehemiah repents on behalf of his people, he calls God a God of love who keeps his covenant with those who love him. Even under the old covenant, God's first response to repentance was love, not rejection. The same pattern shows up with Peter in Luke chapter 5. After the biggest catch of fish in his life, Peter falls at Jesus' feet and says, Lord, leave me, I am a sinful man. Jesus does not walk away. He says, don't be afraid. Peter is acknowledging who Jesus is, and Jesus responds not with judgment but with a calling. From now on, Peter will not just fish for fish, he will fish for people. Pastor John S. Dickerson unpacks what this means for anyone carrying guilt today: every time you genuinely repent, you encounter God's love, not his anger. And that encounter is not the end of the story. It is the beginning of a new purpose, seeing the people around you (at work, at school, in your own home) as eternal souls worth reaching. Where would you honestly rank yourself on believing that reaching people matters more than anything else in this life? Text "DAILY" to 71093 to receive Daily Hope videos sent to your phone every day.
