Forgiven to Love - Overview

This week at Bellevue Christian Reformed Church we are digging into what it means when we pray “Forgive us our sins as we also forgive those who sin against us.” Jesus didn’t mince words explaining that we are required to forgive each other, but he also doesn’t say that God sits back passively waiting to forgive until we have earned it by forgiving others. God always takes the initiative in blessing and saving us. God forgives us freely, but at the highest cost to himself – the death of his own Son. The forgiveness God asks of us pales in comparison to the forgiveness he showers on us. 
As has been the pattern all fall as we have focused on prayer, each day we'll look at it from a different angle. 
May we forgive as we have been forgiven and love as we have been loved.
