We’ve started studying Faith Evangelism. F.A.I.T.H.
The need to know how to explain to someone the plan of salvation is important
and lot of people understand that Christ died on a cross but that’s all.
As we go through the word FAITH, we’ll take each letter and bring it through the plan of salvation.
This helps people share their faith but hopefully they will get a better understanding of what that sacrifice on that cross cost.
This Wednesday we started with “F” which stands for Forgiveness.
Forgive
: to give up resentment of <forgive an insult>
: to grant relief from payment of <forgive a debt>
: to cease to feel resentment against (an offender)
: Pardon <forgive one's enemies>
The Greek word for forgiveness means: to let go, to leave, to leave behind
Forgiveness is more than two parties being brought back together.
It also involves completely forgetting the offense that initially caused the problem.
The bible tells us that when God forgives us, He forgets our sin, never to bring it up again.
Jeremiah 31:34
…“And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins.”
…“And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins.”
Everyone has sinned and need God’s forgiveness
Romans 3:23
God’s forgiveness is in Jesus only
Ephesians 1:7
The bible doesn’t categorize some sins more more or less serious than others. Sin is sin, regardless of our assessment of its severity.
James 2:8-11
Here some more scripture on forgiveness:
