The Forgiveness of Sins
I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you! Acts 13:38
Forgiveness The Mission Of God’s People
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.
All Of Us Have 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.
No One Exempt
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…
Sin Is In Our Innermost Being
Matthew 15:17-20 …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…
Our Sin Nature Biblically Described

A Lifestyle In It Results In An Eternity In It
Galatians 5:21 …of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of 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
2 Thessalonians 2:8-12 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.
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.
Except Sin Against The Holy Spirit
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.
The Holy Spirit Woos You To Christ
John 16:7-9 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.
