God Quote-Your Sins Are Forgiven

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of God’s Word, this is what the Lord says in Luke 7:48.

“Your sins are forgiven.”

Jesus said this to a woman who lived a sinful life. But she was turning to Jesus in humility and with love for Him.

This short statement shows the power of grace. Jesus has the authority to forgive sins, because of His identity as the Son of God and by the shedding of His blood on the cross. Whoever believes in Him will not die in their sin, but will have the gift of eternal life.

That was the experience of this woman who came to Jesus in the brokenness of her sin. She was forgiven and cleansed.  Jesus said to her, “your faith has saved you; go in peace.”

Luke 7:48-That’s today’s God Quote for us to embrace for life.
