Today we begin a 4-part sermon series about forgiveness and we’ll be talking about how only God can forgive sins. People cannot forgive sins. That is up to God. Yes, you can forgive the person if they sin against you. However, the person must also go to God and seek forgiveness.
Forgiveness is a multi-step process. People must seek forgiveness from God for their sins. People must also seek forgiveness from each other. If God forgives the sin, then what are other people forgiving? The person. Yes, it can be a little confusing, which is why this is going to be a 4-part sermon series.
This is very important so please make an effort to attend all of the sermons. Forgiveness plays a major part in life so it is something you MUST understand and practice. Without forgiveness then we cannot be saved from our sins. Therefore, it is so very important that we forgive others as Christ forgave us.
