God’s forgiveness is no academic matter.
He is out to radically change the lives of human beings. The message of the Gospel is stupid to some and a scandal to others, but it is still God’s way of transforming guilty human beings and of bringing them into peace.
It is his way of bringing release to those who have lost all hope; to those who can make no sense of life; to those who are tired and worn out with trying to avoid God and his claims upon their lives.
It is this message of Christ and his love at the Cross of Calvary which can turn a person right side up and bring them into a wonderful, vibrant relationship with the Living God. And it’s a message for Christians as well as for the unconverted!
As was my case, many people come into an experience of the Lord without ever really understanding what his total forgiveness means. It may be years later that the full implication hits home.
The full realisation of God’s forgiveness often comes to us only after we have had sights of our own wretched depravity and sinfulness. We need to see clearly how deep our need is and what sin has done to us before we will fully appreciate just how grand Christ’s salvation is.

About this Plan
God’s forgiveness is no light thing. The Cross is God’s complete answer to all the deepest of human needs in respect to our relationship with him. We only come to know God as we enter and live in a realised experience of his total forgiveness, and we only go on knowing God as we go on knowing and living in that same experience of liberation.
