*GOD'S FORGIVENESS*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins."* (Acts 5:30-31 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
With one sentence, Christ paralysed the accusers of the woman caught in adultery: 'He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone'. They all walked away dropping their stones. People who were sitting in judgment over another had their own consciences judge them guilty. In that event, we see that what's prevalent in the world is hypocritical judgment; sinners judging sinners, but Christ came to heal sinners with the gift of no condemnation. By this, the sinner is empowered to go and sin no more! (JOHN 8:3-11).
The offer of God to everyone who repents/believes is FORGIVENESS of sins (Acts 2:38; Ephesians 1:7; Colossians 1:14). There is no gospel if this fact is unknown to the hearers. God has provided forgiveness in Christ and everyone can receive freely as they turn to God by faith in the finished work of Christ. Who are the believers? The forgiven ones!
The bible says Jesus hated lawlessness/sin (Hebrews 1:9). However, He was spitefully called the friend of sinners (Luke 7:34), by the religious rulers of His day but He took that as a compliment knowing that a doctor wouldn't be ashamed of being seen with the sick. He came to set us free from sin, and so He had to dwell with sinners to get the sin out of them.
_MEDITATION:_
*"Note the word 'friend'; He was in their midst as one who loved their souls. He was friendly, merciful & compassionate. Jesus, the hater of sin, and the friend of sinners. Know the difference!"*
