7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace
No matter how many times we see it we still have a hard time reckoning our sins being forgiven through the blood shed by Jesus over 2k years ago. On a very small scale it is like when you go out to dinner and your guest picks up the check, you feel like no you shouldn't, and then obligated to do the same likewise toward them. Well that is the basic premise the Lord has set up for us. To receive his forgiveness and fellowship and in return be forgiving toward others. Only when we begin to fathom this great obligation do we see the path of sonship and act like our father who set the great example for us to follow. Jesus led his ministry looking for people to forgive. It was his hallmark, his style, his purpose.
I need to be more forgiving, even to the point beyond logic or understanding, then I will begin to reflect heaven properly.
Welcome
One of the most effective ways to allow the Word of God to affect your life is to study it inductively. That is what this blog is all about. Typically one verse per day will be mined for insight and then followed up with how I plan to implement that insight practically. My prayer is that in some way you find this useful in your journey and that it may impact you positively. -G
