Why is learning Biblical forgiveness important?

Helps us learn more about the character of God.
Broadens our understanding of what Jesus did for us on the cross.
How we believe God forgives us shapes how we forgive others.

Sin: Foolishness, Prov. 24:9, transgression (to go across the boundary), 1 John 2:4, unrighteousness (breaking of relationship) 1 John 5:17, Not doing good James 4:17, doing good (! bad heart/motives),

Exodus 34 – I forgive iniquity, rebellion, sin

Iniquity: perverse, make crooked
Rebellion: to break away from authority, trespass, quarrel, revolt
Sin: offense, habitual sin and its penalty, to miss the mark
Disobedience, not listening to God, error or sin of ignorance,

Effects of sin:

Forfeited purity (shame),
Knowledge of good and evil (we know good and evil but we only do evil, Romans 7:18-21
Our conscience started working, Romans 2:14
Try to make ourselves presentable
Fear of God
Blame
Our Nature was corrupted
Judgment followed (toil, death)

God wanted to right these effects,

Righteousness, repairing our relationship with God and others
Love (John 3:16, Romans 5:8 while we were still sinners Jesus died)
Eternal life through Jesus

We have all sinned
Romans 3:23-24

God’s forgiveness is:

Gracious but not free. It cost him.
God’s forgiveness is conditional. Only those who repent and believe are saved.
A commitment. When God forgives he promises/commits to not hold that sin against us.

God’s Forgiveness:

Lays the groundwork for and begins the process of reconciliation.
Does not mean the elimination of all consequences.

What do we learn?:

Sin separates us from our relationship with God
Our repentance followed by God’s forgiveness restores that relationship
Forgiveness is costly
God’s forgiveness shows us His character

What should we do?

Consider the cost of God’s forgiveness to you
Spend time thanking God for His forgiveness

Isaiah 44:22
