I will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles, to whom I now send you, to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me. Acts 26:17-18
Searching for the word 'forgiveness' in the Bible brings up only a few verses in the New King James version, but most of those few are forgiveness of sins from God to us. One verse is that serious warning from Jesus about blaspheming the Holy Spirit, Yikes! As for today though, our verses come from Paul's testimony of that great event in his life on the way to Damascus. I don't know about you, but I'm glad and grateful that Jesus sent Paul to bring that message of hope and salvation to us Gentiles. By faith in Jesus, that says all we need to know about this new life Paul was sent to tell us.
We now live in Christ by faith!
