~ God Forgives ~
This Series ~ This series of posts looks at some of the many attributes of God. Generally, we move in alphabetical order.
Scripture ~ “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us” (1 John 1:8-10 and a great many other Scriptures).
Quotes ~ “If I am a true believer, I stand here freed from every sin. There is not a crime against me in the Book of God; it is blotted out forever. It is cancelled. And not only can I never be punished, but I have nothing to be punished for. Christ has atoned from my sins, and I have received His righteousness.” –Charles Haddon Spurgeon
An Actual Prayer: “Lord of the universe, I want to propose a deal. We have many sins. You have much forgiveness. Let us exchange our sins for Your forgiveness. And if You should say that this is not a fair exchange, then my reply is: ‘If we had no sins, what would You do with all Your forgiveness?’” –Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev
Comment ~ Think about it: “Forgiveness” is a great one-word description of the Holy Bible.
