    IT IS FINISHED We trample the blood of the Son of God if we think we are forgiven because we are sorry for our sins.

  • Father, Forgive Them

    Contributed by Tim Smith on Feb 11, 2015
     | 3,869 views

    The word ‘forgive’ in this passage is in the imperfect tense. We tend to think it is in the present tense and that Jesus prayed this prayer once and then moved on.

    The Call of Bishop Cowther That day, as the slaves were packed into the Portuguese slave ship, they probably did not know that they would be free within a few hours. Even as they were freed by the captain of the British frigate, I don’t think anyone knew the incredible long range results. One of ...read more

    There is a difference between reconciliation and forgiveness. In the cross, Jesus provided for the forgiveness of everyone.
