This is HOW
This is HOW
Colossians 2:13–15 (NLT)
13 You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins.
14 He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross.
15 In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross.
1 John 1:9 (NLT)
9 But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.
In practice, HOW DOES IT WORK?
In practice, HOW DOES IT WORK?
I receive this forgiveness by hearing and believing this GOSPEL. Suddenly, the Holy Spirit comes and works in us the KNOWING (Katheryn Khulman) that we have been forgiven our sins. At this place, we know where to get it every time we need it and we know to give it every time a wrong is done against us. Guarding our salvation until the end...
MOREOVER, the Holy Spirit works in us the knowing that this Limitless Forgiveness was GIVEN to us by GRACE through Faith by Jesus Christ. It cost Him His LIVE to give it. At this place, you are grateful and are careful in NOT hurting the ONE who sacrificed His LIVE to give you Limitless Forgiveness.
A little FURTHER, YOUR CALL! He alone knows His plans for my life...
Who am I, Why am I here, How much potential do I have, What am I capable of doing, To reach these, by what standards, process?
Unforgiving people have not been forgiven themselves; those who are forgiven are so broken by it that they cannot but forgive others. David Martyn Lloyd-Jones
The Christian forgives because he has been forgiven; he forgives because he needs forgiveness. D. A. Carson
You forgive me, and I forgive you, and we forgive them, and they forgive us, and so a circle of unlimited forbearance and love goes round the world. Charles Spurgeon
My relationship with Christ is as good as the value I give “THIS LIMITLESS FORGIVENESS”
My relationship with Christ is as good as the value I give “THIS LIMITLESS FORGIVENESS”
In other words, DON’T PLAY with SIN. Playing with SIN is PLAYING with my relationship with Christ. I am not giving value to what He did for me. I am exposing my SALVATION that cost Him all, and me nothing. And as a warning, John tells us, THIS:
4 If someone claims, “I know God,” but doesn’t obey God’s commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth.
10 If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing that his word has no place in our hearts.

I need to put what I know in practice:
Work hard in keeping my relationship with Jesus Christ, in TRUTH. Not MORE LIES!
9 But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.
FORGIVE, like He forgave us! As hard as it is. It was hard for Him BUT He did it with JOY in seeing us SAVED
Find what your call is and work it!
Our SINS were NAILED at the CROSS by Christ, and so, in Christ, our SINS were forgiven.
We do the SAME!
The Cross is a combo of the PAPER with our sins and the sins of those who wronged us
AND the FIRE is the nailing of these sins to the cross
COME to HIM
Give your lives
Receive His forgiveness if in sin and FORGIVE others
