Ephesians 1:7 (AMPC) 7 In Him we have redemption (deliverance and salvation) through His blood, the remission (forgiveness) of our offenses (shortcomings and trespasses), in accordance with the riches and the generosity of His gracious favor,<\/p>\n

Welcome back!<\/p>\n

We are on day 4 of this 5-day series.<\/p>\n

Today we will discuss forgiveness.<\/p>\n

More specifically, we will be looking at receiving forgiveness from God, not one person forgiving another.<\/p>\n

Looking at it from this perspective, here is how forgiveness would be defined.<\/p>\n

Forgiveness: God’s act of pardoning sinners by releasing them from the penalty of sin and canceling their debt.<\/p>\n

Greek: Aphiemi<\/i>, Aphesis<\/i><\/p>\n

Aphiemi represents the cancelation of a debt. It signifies that the penalty for our sin (which is death) has been fully discharged. We are no longer bound by it.<\/p>\n

Aphesis represents the state of remission (or release) from that debt. It has been paid in full on your behalf by Someone else who did not incur the debt (in this case, God).<\/p>\n

Our past sin is not overlooked. It is sent away, removed from us through the blood of Christ that was shed on the cross.<\/p>\n

Because of a repentant heart, we turn away from our old ways.<\/p>\n

We begin to see the world through a different lens, leaning more toward God and less toward the things of the world that once enslaved us.<\/p>\n

By now we should be starting to see a clearer picture of the 5 components of salvation.<\/p>\n

We experience and\/or become aware of God\u2019s grace and mercy toward us. This realization or discovery causes us to be remorseful for our sins and repent. Repentance opens the door to forgiveness. And forgiveness sets us free from the debt of our sins.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, let\u2019s discuss the final component of this; redemption.<\/p>\n

Thank you for reading.<\/p>\n
