The Finite And The Infinite

Contributed by Ron Hietsch on Sep 11, 2014

Guilty But Pardoned

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 6, 2021

Jesus was our Savior on the cross, but He was also our Judge, and He pardoned us for all of our unknown sins of omission that we can never confess. His forgiveness was universal and comprehensive.

Abraham Lincoln was accused of this during the Civil War when he seemed willing to pardon just about anyone. He would ...read more
