“The Lord’s Prayer”
“This is how you should pray…forgive us our debts.”Matt 6:12
Guilt:
Rationalize it
Justify it
Blame somebody else
Make excuses
Push it down
Try to forget
We use distractions
We use escapism
“This is how you should pray…forgive us our debts.”Matt 6:12
There’s only one antidote to guilt and it is forgiveness.
THERE IS A NO-WAITING POLICY
“Let the wicked leave their way of life and change their way of thinking. Let them turn to the Lord, our God, He is merciful and quick to forgive.”Isaiah 55:7
“If we confess our sins to God, He will keep His promise and do what is right. He will forgive our sins and make us clean from all our wrongdoing.”1JOHN 1:9
THIS IS NOT SELF-HELP, IT IS GOD-HELP
“You are a God of forgiveness, always ready to pardon, gracious and merciful…full of love.”Nehemiah 9:17
“(Christ)…is always interceding on our behalf.”Hebrews 7:25
THERE IS NO “DADDY” TAX
“All of us have sinned…yet now God declares us “not guilty” of offending Him IF we trust in Jesus Christ, who freely takes away our sins.”Romans 3:23-24
YOU CAN’T BUY YOUR FORGIVENESS
YOU CAN’T BARGAIN WITH GOD
YOU CAN’T BRIBE GOD
DON’T TRY TO BEG GOD
“For it is by God’s grace that you have been saved, through faith, it is not your own doing, but God’s gift. There is nothing to boast of, since it is not the result of your own efforts.”Ephesians 2:8-9
