We must see and realize that in the kingdom of God and in the Bible there are more than one kind of forgiveness – there are at least five, the first three being eternal forgiveness, instrumental forgiveness, and restorative forgiveness. In the Bible the word forgiveness is mentioned many times, but it doesn’t refer to […]
Eternal Forgiveness, Instrumental Forgiveness, and Restorative Forgiveness
In the New Covenant God Forgives our Sins and by No Means Remembers them Anymore!
This week we have been enjoying and diving deeper into the new covenant, which was prophesied by Jeremiah, quoted in Hebrews, and applied to us as believers in Christ today. The primary blessing of the new covenant is the imparting of the divine into us, which brings into us God’s life with the inner law […]
