The Forgiveness of Sins
Acts 13:38 …I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed unto you!
The Truth Of His Passion Requires A Spiritual Insight That Only He Grants
Luke 24:44-45 Then He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.” And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.
Proclaiming His Forgiveness IS The Mission Of The Church
Luke 24:46-47 He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Everyone In The World Has A Sin Nature
Romans 3:9-18 All are alike under sin; As it is written: There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one. Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit the poison of vipers is on their lips. Their mouths are full of cursing & bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood; ruin & misery mark their ways, the way of peace they do not know. There is no fear of God before their eyes.
There Is No Exception We ALL NEED God’s Forgiveness For Forever
Romans 3:22-23 …There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God…
Isaiah 53:6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way…
Revelation 5:9 …they sang a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by Thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation…
Sin Is In Our Inmost Being
Matthew 15:18-20 …those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man…
The Bible Reveals Our Sin Honestly
Isaiah 64:6-7 …we are all like an unclean thing, all our righteousness is like filthy rags; we all fade as a leaf, our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. No one calls on Your name or stirs himself to take hold of You; You have hidden Your face from us …we are consumed because of our iniquities.
Galatians 5:19-21 …the works of the flesh are manifest: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envying’s, murders, drunkenness, reveling, and the like…
A Lifestyle That Revels In It; Results In An Eternity In It
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Sin Rejects Obedience To God’s Word
1 Samuel 15:22-23 Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft & stubbornness is as iniquity & idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the Word of the LORD, He hath also rejected thee from being king.
The Nature Of Sin Is To Disbelieve God’s Truth
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs & lying wonders & with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. For this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
The Good News That We Share IS “All Sin Is Forgiven In Christ”
Matthew 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, all manner of sin & blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
Sin Against The Holy Spirit Cannot Be Forgiven
Matthew 12:32 …whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
Because The Holy Spirit Woos You To Jesus Christ
John 16:7-9,13-14 It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you. When He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on Me … when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth…He shall glorify Me: for He shall receive of Mine and shall shew it unto you.
