Understanding Forgiveness – Part 2

APRIL 11

Proverbs 28:13 – He who covers his sins will not prosper, But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.

Why is it important to receive forgiveness?

• It is sign of  willingness to repent and obey God’s word
• To be cleansed and pure
• So that your prayer will be answered
• So that you will not reap judgement
• To restore fellowship and prevent a strain in relationships
• To walk in love and be a good ambassador of Christ
• To prevent the devil from taking advantage of you
• For peace to reign

The bible says in Matthew 5:9 – Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

I will not allow sin to reign in my life, I will  get rid of it by seeking forgiveness.
