Why Forgiveness Matters

DAY 8 OF 8

Receiving Forgiveness

Sometimes the hardest person to forgive is the one we see in the mirror. The devil tries to use our past to rob and define our future. We have to choose to receive God’s forgiveness that he offers. Are we holding on to unforgiveness towards ourselves or others? Today is the day, and now is the time to forgive and to receive forgiveness.

Here are some highlights from today’s video:

  • We have to forgive ourselves.
  • We need to receive God’s forgiveness.
  • Forgiveness granted isn’t always received.
  • Satan tries to use our past to rob our future.
  • Satan is the accuser of the brethren.
  • If we receive God’s forgiveness, He now sees us in Christ. That means He sees what Jesus accomplished, not where we have fallen short.
  • God has offered us forgiveness and the opportunity to be free from sin, but we have to receive it.

About this Plan

Why Forgiveness Matters

Forgiveness is central to the Christian life, but often hard to give. This 8-day devotional explores why we should forgive, what happens if we don't, and how to begin the process. With Jesus as our model, we'll look at practical steps, biblical truths, and the freedom found in forgiving others and ourselves. Forgiveness isn't easy, but it is possible, and it's the path to healing, peace, freedom, & new life in Christ.
