“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace” Ephesians 1:7
If only I could believe God’s forgiveness. How can it be? If He truly knows all about me—why would He ever forgive me?
To believe we are totally and eternally debt free is seldom easy. We doubt! And as a result, many are forgiven only a little—not because the grace of God is limited—but because the faith of the sinner is small. God is willing to forgive all! He is willing to wipe the slate clean! God invites you into a pool of mercy and invites you to bathe. Plunge in! Don’t just touch the surface! Don’t leave or live feeling unforgiven.
Where the grace of God is embraced, forgiveness flourishes! And what you’ll discover is—the more you immerse yourself in grace, the more likely you are to give grace!
