00:00: Question, how do I receive forgiveness from God? In this video, I'll share the answer to that question from a biblical perspective.
00:05: Afterwards, I'll point you to some helpful resources, so stick around until the end. Acts 13 .38
00:17: declares, Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.
00:23: The word forgive means to wipe the slate clean, to pardon, to cancel a debt. When we wrong someone, we seek their forgiveness in order for that relationship to be restored.
00:32: Forgiveness is not granted because a person deserves to be forgiven. No one deserves to be forgiven. Forgiveness is an act of love, mercy, and grace.
00:40: Forgiveness is a decision to not hold something against another person despite what they may have done to you.
00:46: The Bible tells us that we are all in need of forgiveness from God. We have all committed sin. Ecclesiastes 7 .20
00:52: proclaims, There is not a righteous man on earth who does what is right and never sins.
00:58: First John 1 .8 says, If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
01:05: All sin is ultimately an act of rebellion against God. As a result, we desperately need
01:10: God's forgiveness. If our sins are not forgiven, we will spend an eternity suffering the consequences of our sins.
01:17: Thankfully, God is loving and merciful, eager to forgive us of our sins. 2 Peter 3 .9 tells us,
01:22: He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. God desires to forgive us, so He provided for our forgiveness.
01:31: The only just penalty for our sins is death. The first half of Romans 6 .23 declares, For the wages of sin is death.
01:38: Eternal death is what we have earned for our sin. God, in His perfect plan, became a human being,
01:44: Jesus Christ. Jesus died on the cross, taking the penalty that we deserve—death. 2 Corinthians 5 .21
01:50: teaches us, God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.
01:57: Jesus died on the cross, taking the punishment that we deserve as God. Jesus' death provided forgiveness for the sins of the entire world.
02:05: 1 John 2 .2 proclaims, He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for the sins of the whole world.
02:13: Jesus rose from the dead, proclaiming His victory over sin and death. Praise God through the death and resurrection of Jesus!
02:19: The second half of Romans 6 .23 is true, But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our
02:25: Lord. Do you want to have your sins forgiven? Do you have a nagging feeling of guilt you just can't seem to get to go away?
02:31: Forgiveness for your sins is available if you place your faith in Jesus Christ as your Savior. Ephesians 1 .7
02:37: says, In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace.
02:43: Jesus paid our debt for us, so we could be forgiven. All you have to do is ask God to forgive you through Jesus, believing that Jesus died to pay for your forgiveness, and He will forgive you.
02:53: John 3 .16 -17 contains this wonderful message, For God so loved the world, that He gave
02:59: His one and only Son, that whomever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
03:04: For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Yes, it's that easy!
03:10: You can't earn forgiveness from God. You can't pay for your forgiveness from God. You can only receive it by faith, through the grace and mercy of God.
03:18: If you want to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and receive forgiveness from God, here's a prayer you can pray. Saying this prayer, or any other prayer, will not save you.
03:26: It is only trusting Jesus Christ that can provide forgiveness for sin. This prayer is simply a way to express to God your faith in Him and thank
03:33: Him for providing for your forgiveness. God, I know that I have sinned against You and I am deserving of punishment.
03:40: But Jesus Christ took the punishment that I deserve so that through faith in Him I could be forgiven. I place my trust in You for salvation.
03:47: Thank You for Your wonderful grace and forgiveness. Amen. If you just put your faith in Jesus Christ, please click the link that says
