the embrace: embrace forgiveness

the embrace: embrace forgiveness by ric gustafson


I John 2:12- ' I write to you dear children, because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name'.


Romans 3:23 says all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. We all sin and fall short of perfection. In Christ we have grace because the cost has already been paid in full. Grace is a free gift and all we need to do is say thank you. Romans 6:23 says for the wages of sin is death. Because we are sinners we don't focus on the rest of the passage. The passage finishes with but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. The gift of grace is wonderful and indescribable. The gift of forgiveness is given from God to us. We are broken but forgiven by God.
The Lord declares us forgiven and that is a good feeling indeed.
