📖 AND IF ANY MAN SIN… — PART 2
The Nature of Forgiveness and Redemption
One of the truths we must understand as believers is the nature of the forgiveness and redemption we have received in Christ.
«“And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses.” — Colossians 2:13»
🔑 UNDERSTANDING FORGIVENESS
Forgiveness in Christ means that our sins have been dealt with through the finished work of Jesus.
I am forgiven of my sins.
The believer must understand this reality instead of continually living under the weight of guilt and condemnation.
🔑 UNDERSTANDING REDEMPTION
«“In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.” — Ephesians 1:7»
Redemption means being delivered from the penalty of our sins.
Christ paid the price for our redemption. Therefore, our confidence is not in our ability to make ourselves righteous, but in what Christ has accomplished for us.
The nature of our forgiveness points us to the security of what Christ has done, while the nature of redemption reminds us that we have been delivered from the penalty of sin.
✨ THE BELIEVER'S CONFESSION
I am forgiven.
I have been redeemed.
I have been delivered from the penalty of sin.
My confidence is in Christ and His finished work.
When you understand the nature of forgiveness and redemption, you will stop allowing your past to define your future.
CHRIST HAS REDEEMED YOU🫵!
