Forgiveness: The Solution to Our Sin

Forgiveness: The Solution to Our Sin

Most people have an area in their past that they would like to forget or do over. Everyone has made bad decisions that they later reflect on and laugh, but the truth is, there are memories that we are not proud of and can lead to regret and shame. We have different mechanisms of coping with our past failures. We may even call them mistakes from our past, but the truth is they are sins. The question is: what can wash away our sins?

We found out that we can’t undo our sins, but there is one person who stepped forward and became our solution. His name is Jesus. He is the Lamb that takes away the sins of the world. Based on His sacrificial act on the cross and the shedding of His blood, we have the forgiveness of our sins. This means we don’t have to seek forgiveness elsewhere; we have already been forgiven. God cancels our sin debt from the moment we place our faith in Christ. We don’t owe God and we don’t owe ourselves. We thank God for His provision for our sins through Jesus Christ.

MONDAY

Personal 

Every day is a good day to remember what Jesus did on the cross for us. Perhaps there are areas where we need to ask God or another person for forgiveness. Please understand: forgiveness is available because He made it all possible. We are forgiven via God’s grace toward us.

TUESDAY

Finances

Let us continue to pray that God would give us the wisdom to use our finances in a Godly manner- that is, to be good stewards of our possessions.

WEDNESDAY

Family

Pray that God would use you to be an influence in the lives of your unsaved relatives.

THURSDAY

Church

Today, let us pray for our brethren on the mission’s trip in Guatemala. Please intercede such that God’s protection, wisdom, provision, and power would be over them. They are representing our Lord and our Church.

 

FRIDAY

Leaders

Continue to pray for our Church leaders, such that they will continue to be a great spiritual influence over the people in our congregation.

SATURDAY

Co-workers/Classmates

Also, let us pray for our coworkers and/or classmates. We should ask God to use us in order to demonstrate His love toward them.

SUNDAY

Lost Souls 

Finally, continue interceding on behalf of the people around us that need salvation. Make intercession for this coming Sunday, such that more people will be added to our Church family.
