A man in prison once wrote to me sharing what his life had been like before he had met Christ as his Savior. He confessed that he had been a serial killer. He was a trucker driving cross country and had killed several people in different states. However, his conscience would not let him rest and he finally went to authorities confessing to them his crimes.

After being sent to prison for life he found Jesus as his personal Savior. He stated to me in his letter that even though he was in prison, through Christ, he was freer than he had ever been in his life. If a serial killer in prison can be forgiven by our Lord we can be as well. In 1 John 1:9 we have a precious promise, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
