Understanding the source and solution to sin is important as it impacts so many of our views in life. Understanding the theology of anthropology is very important! 2. I must not have the wrong thinking that any of my sin is beyond the grace of God and His forgiveness. Application 3. As we contemplate this next week, let us spend time considering why Jesus willingly went to the cross in love: our sin. Spend time this week meditating upon these truths by reading the end of the gospels about Jesus’ death and resurrection not forgetting why He is doing it—that grace may abound. GRACE WINS! IT OVERCOMES ALL OF YOUR SIN!
