God's Forgiveness: Just and Merciful

DAY 1 OF 3

The Cost of Forgiveness

Have you ever thought, “How can I forgive? What happened to me was wrong!” Forgiveness can feel like giving hurtful actions a free pass—like calling things “okay” that are not okay.

But that’s not the way God forgives. The Bible says in Hebrews 9…

“... Christ was offered once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people.”

There’s a very real price to be paid for injustice. We can be forgiven because Christ absorbed the punishment for our wrongs—not because our wrongs were “okay.” This is what He offers to all who turn away from their old ways and choose to follow Him.

Jesus is just AND merciful. He does not allow wickedness to go free. You can trust that He will deal rightly with those who have wronged you.

Will you let Him carry the weight of your anger and hurt today?
