Forgiveness (29)
  1. We must also remember that our enemy is a creature of God. He is someone for whom Christ Jesus died. He is a sinner just like any other, no more or less selfish than us.
  2. Forgiveness, not love, can restore a relationship that’s top-heavy with negative emotions.
  3. We don’t need to make forgiveness, life, and salvation a hard sell.
  4. Jesus doesn’t talk about God’s love for us; he embodies it.
  5. All the weight of our sin is lifted by Jesus, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the whole world, past, present, and future.
  6. When we say “forgiveness,” we mean, “Jesus.” When we say, “righteousness,” we mean, “Jesus.”
  7. Blood is the thing. In the Scriptures, sin must be covered or "atoned for" as it's called, by blood.
  8. Jesus’ forgiveness will not collapse. Jesus’ forgiveness will take us places our legs can’t take us.
  9. Jesus dies for the sin of the world. That means he dies for the person who disappoints us. He shed His blood for the person who doesn’t love us the way we want to be loved.
  10. Why confess sin? Is it so we can get rewarded by God? A little extra grace or material good for our troubles, maybe.
  11. The pastor declares it. We receive it. The forgiveness of sins. It’s a simple thing.
  12. I’m going to begin at the beginning. But which one? Birth? Kindergarten? My first drink? The first time I had sex?
