God, Who Am I?

4. Redeemed and Forgiven

I have been redeemed and forgiven of all my sins!

"For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins."
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1:13-14‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Jesus has purchased our freedom —we no longer have to pay the debt for our sins! He has forgiven every single one of our sins —past, present and future and there's even more to be happy about:

"He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west."
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭103:12‬ ‭NLT‬‬

""I—yes, I alone—will blot out your sins for my own sake and will never think of them again." Isaiah‬ ‭43:25‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Often when we forgive someone, we still remember what they have said or done for some time. When God forgives us, the Bible says he will never think of our sin again!

* Listen to 'Amazing Love' by Chris Tomlin     https://youtu.be/avJ4lDnZWRU

* Write 'I have been redeemed and forgiven of all my sins!' on a post it note and add one of the verses too. Write a letter to God telling Him about a sin that is still bothering you. Tear it up or burn it to remind yourself that He has forgiven you, removed your sin as far as east is from west and will think of it no more!

* Say - I am God's Child
        - I am chosen by God and adopted
        - I have been redeemed and forgiven of all my sins

* Tell a friend how you are feeling as you are reminded of these truths from the Bible.

Pray:

Thank You Jesus for purchasing my freedom so every one of my sins could be forgiven. I am so thankful that I don't have to be worried that You hold anything against me God because Your Word, the Bible says that You don't think about my sins again! This is such good news!

Amen.

"See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!" 1 John‬ ‭3:1‬a NIV‬‬
