When Love Shows up, forgiveness is always close at hand. When sin
entered the world, people started hiding from God. Because of sin, Shame and
fear control much of our life. We medicate to forget and get by, give ourselves to
work, hoping to be distracted and seek value, and turn on the TV to forget. What
if we could stop hiding from God and live in the forgiveness he offers to all who
put their faith in his completed work on the cross? Colossians says in Jesus we
have redemption and the forgiveness of sins; Psalm 103 tells us that he removes
our transgressions from us as far as the east is from the west. To understand
forgiveness, we have to understand a few things. First, can Jesus give it?
Second, do we need it?
