Today we will be dealing with 25 bible verses about grace and forgiveness. Do you what grace means? do you understand the concept of forgiveness, why you should forgive, and how to forgive? If you don’t, worry less as you are about to find out through these 25 bible verses about grace and forgiveness.
We were saved from the condemnation of the law through the grace of God that was made sufficient in Christ Jesus. Before Christ came, men fell under the wrath of the law. God became dreadful to people as the old believers could seek God’s forgiveness by themselves unless they talk to a priest. The priests also have to offer a sacrifice before entering the temple. However, after Christ came men were able to seek forgiveness of God in all situations. The book of Hebrews 4:15 For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
We earn the forgiveness of God through Christ Jesus. Hebrews 4:16 Let us, therefore, come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Now we can boldly come to the throne of mercy that we may find grace in the sight of God. From the foundation of the world, the lamb has been slain for us. That means the blood of Christ has washed away our sins completely. We are admonished to forgive others who trespass against us just like God has forgiven us all our sins. When we forgive other people their trespasses against us, God also forgives us of our sin.
