Today we’ll discuss How 

  • Getting into the Presence of God  because HE Can & Will Help Us Forgive the Unforgivable 

  • Why is is so important for your personal quality of life

  • And just how to lean into His presence for His divine grace and power.

THE PROBLEM: Take a minute and think about this… 

Do you have someone in your life right now that you need to forgive?

  • Right away understand I’m not talking about ‘want’ to forgive

  • We have built in programing on why we should or shouldn’t

  • Like, they don’t deserve it.

  • They did it on purpose

  • They haven’t even acknowledged their part

  • Why should I have to forgive them…? They are the one who did something wrong

So, let's explore three powerful points, grounded in Scripture, to help lean into the presence of God — to receive and give forgiveness allowing us to tap into all the blessings that follow.

THE WORD: Main Teaching: Todays teaching is based on
Ephesians 1:7: "In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace."

  1. Context: This verse is part of Paul's letter to the Ephesians, where he elaborates on the spiritual blessings believers have in Christ.

  2. Key Themes: Redemption, forgiveness of sin, grace for self and others. (fruit of the spirit)

1. (LET’S BREAK THEM DOWN IN ORDER) Redemption Through His Blood

  • Definition of Redemption: to be redeemed / paid in full, doesn’t bounce, Not money it’s freedom..

    • The act of being set free or delivered from bondage, sin, and its consequences.

    • Sit back and think of the one thing you did last week/month/years ago

    • In biblical terms, it often implies a cost or sacrifice.

  • Christ's Sacrifice:

    • Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross was the price for our redemption.

    • His blood represents the ultimate sacrifice, fulfilling the Old Testament sacrificial system.

  • Scriptural References:

    • 1 Peter 1:18-19: "For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed...but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect."

    • Hebrews 9:12: "He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption."

    • He didn’t have to do this… He came to do this… 

2. The Forgiveness of Sins

  • Meaning of Forgiveness:

    • The act of God absolving us of our sins, removing guilt and punishment.

  • Nature of Divine Forgiveness:

    • It is complete, unconditional, and available to all who believe.

    • Forgiveness restores the standard

  • Impact on Believers:

    • Removes guilt and shame, bringing peace and reconciliation with God.

    • Kairos Through the generations

  • Scriptural References:

    • 1 John 1:9: "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."

      • Repenting is huge

    • Psalm 103:12: "As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us."

      • Nothing to big or little

      • It’s satans design to get in the middle of it

THE GIFT: In Accordance with the Riches of God’s Grace

  • Understanding God's Grace:

    • Unmerited favor; a gift from God that we cannot earn.

  • Riches of Grace:

    • God's grace is abundant, limitless, and generously given.

  • Relationship to Forgiveness and Redemption:

    • Both forgiveness and redemption are acts of grace; we do not deserve them, but God gives them freely.

  • Scriptural References:

    • Romans 3:23-24: "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."

    • Titus 2:11: "For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people."

THE CHOICE  FRIEND WE HAVE FREE WILL AND Ephesians 1:7 is the heart of the gospel: our redemption through Christ’s blood, forgiveness of sins, and the boundless grace of God. AND WE HAVE A CHOICE TO LIVE BY IT OR NOT.

 Come to love the act surrendering, trusting God’s wisdom and sovereignty for his leadership into a wonderful life.

  • Personal Reflection:

    • Consider the magnitude of Christ’s sacrifice and the depth of God’s forgiveness.

    • Reflect on the richness of God’s grace in your own life.

  • Living in Grace:

    • If we haven’t yet we need to Accept God’s forgiveness, letting go of guilt and shame.

    • Extend grace and forgiveness to others as God has done for you.

  • Gratitude and Worship:

    • Respond with gratitude for God’s redemptive work.

    • Worship God for His immeasurable grace and mercy.
