God is righteous in the blood of Jesus, His Son, to forgive us our sins whenever we repent and confess; when we walk according to the Spirit, we live out Christ as our righteousness, and we express the image of God, living in the kingdom of God in reality. Amen! Thank the Lord that He […]
Eternal Forgiveness, Instrumental Forgiveness, and Restorative Forgiveness
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 […]
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.

When we forgive someone for offending us, we hardly forget what they did to us. Nevertheless, […]
