"In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;"
What does forgiveness mean to you. - To pardon, let off, to give up my right to inflict you for inflicting me.
Forgiveness is not granted because it is deserved, forgiveness is difficult.
Why do we need forgiveness from God.
Romans 3 vs.23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
The penalty for sin,-
Romans 6 vs.23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
A ransom price was paid; 1 Peter 2 vs.24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree,
Jesus brings a wonderful Salvation, we are reconciled to God, and have peace, the debt of our sin is paid.
We cannot earn it it is not D.I.Y. it is all about Christ.
1 John 1 vs.9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
We must repent the Prodigal Son repented and acted upon it. Make sure you are right with God.
Once forgiven we should be prepared to forgive others.
