I realized Jesus had died for me and that my sin had nailed him to the cross. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI knelt down beside my bed and confessed my sin to God and told him I was sorry.

I don’t remember any dramatic sensation afterward, but I knew my sin had been forgiven and I had been born again. That prayer began a love relationship with Jesus that is more real to me than any other. And I would like to share it with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly God, through Christ, has the power to forgive sin (Matthew 9:1–8). It doesn’t matter how big the sin is or how small, it doesn’t matter how long ago it was committed or how recently. It doesn’t matter whether it was spontaneous or malicious. God will forgive you if you come to him at the cross of Jesus Christ. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGod forgave the men who nailed his Son to the cross (Luke 23:34). So why wouldn’t he forgive you when you ask? What do you think is beyond the forgiveness of God? Abortion? Adultery? Abuse? Hate? Hypocrisy? Doubt? Divorce? Drunkenness? Or Immorality? Or Murder? Or ? You fill in the blank.

That very night she would be stepping into eternity, and she was desperate for reassurance of her forgiveness by God. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI asked her if she had ever been to the ocean, and she nodded “yes.” I asked her if, as she had walked along the shore, she had seen small holes in the sand where ghost crabs had darted in and out. Again she nodded. I then asked if she had seen any larger holes, like those made by children digging. Beginning to look puzzled, she said “yes,” she had seen holes like that. I persisted gently to see if she had ever seen huge holes created by machines dredging a channel or burying pipelines on the beach. Her brow furrowed as she again acknowledged a quiet “yes.” I then leaned toward her and pressed my point, “Velma, when the tide comes in, what happens to all those holes?” A soft light began to gleam in her eyes, and a smile played at the corner of her lips as I answered my own question. “All the holes are covered equally by the water, aren’t they? God’s forgiveness is like the tide that washes over all the ‘holes’ of your sins and covers all your sins equally.” Velma stepped into her heavenly home fully assured of her acceptance by God. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePraise God for the sacrifice of Jesus that is sufficient to cover all of your sins. All of them! Even “small” sins like gossip or worry, “medium-size” sins like losing your temper, “large” sins like murder—all are covered equally by the blood of Jesus. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy trusting in Christ’s sacrifice on your behalf, you’ll never be held accountable for the guilt of your sin.

Unpacking Forgiveness: Biblical Answers for Complex Questions and Deep Wounds is an engaging, convicting, but emphatically encouraging treatment of this hugely important (and sometimes mind-bogglingly challenging) part of life. Dr. Brauns writes from the standpoint of a faithful, wise, experienced, and caring pastor who has seen the heartbreak of an unforgiving spirit at work in the lives of people, but also the power of grace in the hearts of Christians who have learned to forgive and be forgiven.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e--- J.

Relying on his experience as a pastor and his deep knowledge of Scripture, he provides what is a logical, well-illustrated book on the subject. With humor at times and appropriate gravitas at others, Brauns leads the reader first to understand and then to apply what the Bible teaches on forgiveness.

We are his creatures. God is perfectly good and just and lovely, and we owe him perfect love and obedience in every thought, word, and action. But every single person who has ever lived (except for one) has sinned against God (Romans 3:10). Sin ruptures our relationship with God, and therefore severely damages everything from our conscience to our relationships to the world itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShame over the things we’ve done and become that we know are wrong is telling us that we are not who we are supposed to be. And shame over the things that people have done to us is telling us that the world is not the way it is supposed to be. One writer in the Bible puts it like this: “Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?” (Romans 7:24)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat’s the bad news. But there’s good news!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bible says that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that he came to earth over 2,000 years ago to do something about our sin. Jesus lived a totally perfect life before God the Father—the life all of us ought to live. Then Jesus died on a cross, taking on the punishment for sin—the death we all deserve to die. Three days after he died, Jesus did the unimaginable—he rose from the dead! The Bible says that Jesus lives today, forever, and he will never die—the fate we could never achieve for ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bible says that by doing all this Jesus has brought those who put their trust in him back to God. Those who believe in Christ and turn to him as their only hope are cleaned forever from the guilt and shame of sin. We can be healed because Jesus was broken (1 Peter 2:24). In Jesus God can declare us forgiven and free. We don’t have to hide anymore, because Jesus bore our shame when he died, and then put it away forever when he rose again. All of this is a promise God makes to any who will turn from their sin and put their hope and trust in Jesus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to give Jesus your shame and your guilt, and receive from him perfect life and forgiveness forever, call out to him right now with a prayer like this:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHeavenly Father, I believe that Jesus Christ is your Son, and that he died on the cross to save me from my sin. I believe that he rose again to life, and that he invites me to live forever with him in heaven as part of your family. Because of what Jesus has done, I ask you to forgive me of my sin and give me eternal life. Please guide me to a Bible-believing church where I can grow as a Christian with others who love Jesus. Amen.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Crossway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39455068651599,"sku":"9781682164075","price":8.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2773\/2624\/products\/9781682164075-offer-of-hope-an-good-news-publishers.jpg?v=1636105475"},{"product_id":"9781784986865-i-forgive-you-finding-peace-and-moving-forward-when-life-really-hurts-wendy-alsup","title":"I Forgive You: Finding Peace and Moving Forward When Life Really Hurts","description":"\u003cp\u003eLife gets messy sometimes.

How could a perfectly just and righteous God overlook our sin? Our situation would be impossible if God had not settled the issue himself. He sent his Son—Jesus Christ—to earth to become a man, live a perfectly sinless life, and ultimately give his life for you and me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the cross where Jesus died, he took the punishment for sin that we deserved. The Bible says God made Jesus to be sin for us, the One “who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Corinthians 5:21). Then Jesus rose from the tomb and came back to life three days later and was seen by hundreds of people (1 Corinthians 15:3-6).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I Be Sure?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of what Jesus has accomplished, it is possible to know that God will forgive you and one day receive you into heaven (John 14:1-3). You can have the assurance of God’s forgiveness by making the following choices:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecognize that your sins have separated you from God. In honest repentance agree with God about your sinfulness and admit your need for forgiveness: “If we confess our sins, he [God] is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRealize that God loves you, and believe that the sinless Jesus Christ died for your sins—taking the punishment you deserve: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn response to your trust, God promises you eternity with him! Receive Jesus Christ into your life by faith as your Savior from sin’s consequences. When you respond to God’s offer of forgiveness in faith, you can know that he has forgiven you. God’s Book, the Bible, promises that “to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf that is your heart’s desire, right where you are you can pray something like this:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDear God, I know that I have sinned against many people and against you.
