Forgiveness

Scripture: "Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you." (Acts 13:38)

Observation: Only through Jesus's sacrifice am I forgiven from my sins.

Application: Just because I'm a "good person" doesn't mean my sins are forgiven or that I'm going to Heaven. I can't do good deeds or butter my way into God's heart. Only through Jesus's death and resurrection am I forgiven.

Prayer: Lord, I know I am forgiven because of You. Jesus paid my all of my debts in full-- past, present and future-- so that I may be nearer to You. I am eternally grateful and humbled that You love me that much. Amen.
