"God made Him who had no sin to
be sin for us, so that in Him we
might become the righteousness of
God." Jesus died on the cross,
taking the punishment that we
deserve! As God, Jesus' death
provided forgiveness for the sins of
the entire world. 1 John 2:2
proclaims, "He is the atoning
sacrifice for our sins, and not only
for ours but also for the sins of the
whole world." Jesus rose from the
dead, proclaiming His victory over
sin and death (1 Corinthians 15:1-
28). Praise God, through the death
and resurrection of Jesus Christ,
the second half of Romans 6:23 is
true, "…but the gift of God is
eternal life through Jesus Christ
our Lord."
Do you want to have your sins
forgiven? Do you have a nagging
feeling of guilt that you can’t seem
to get to go away? Forgiveness of
your sins is available if you will
place your faith in Jesus Christ as
your Savior. Ephesians 1:7 says,
"In Him we have redemption
through His blood, the forgiveness
of sins, in accordance with the
riches of God's grace." Jesus paid
our debt for us, so we could be
forgiven. All you have to do is ask
God to forgive you through Jesus,
believing that Jesus died to pay for
your forgiveness – and He will
forgive you! John 3:16-17 contains
this wonderful message, "For God
so loved the world that He gave
His one and only Son, that whoever
believes in Him shall not perish but
FEATURE
have eternal life. For God did not
send His Son into the world to
condemn the world, but to save the
world through Him."
Forgiveness – is it really that
easy?
Yes it is that easy! You can’t
earn forgiveness from God. You
can’t pay for your forgiveness from
God. You can only receive it, by
faith, through the grace and mercy
of God. If you want to accept Jesus
Christ as your Savior and receive
forgiveness from God, here is a
prayer you can pray. Saying this
prayer or any other prayer will not
save you. It is only trusting in Jesus
Christ that can provide forgiveness
of sins. This prayer is simply a way
to express to God your faith in Him
and to thank Him for providing for
your forgiveness. "God, I know
that I have sinned against You and
am deserving of punishment. But
Jesus Christ took the punishment
that I deserve so that through faith
in Him I could be forgiven. I place
my trust in You for salvation.
Thank You for Your wonderful
grace and forgiveness! Amen!"
