Christ’s blood reveals the seriousness of our sin. We insurrected the king. We defiled His glory. We deserve His wrath, and Christ absorbed it.

Forgiveness
Confess Your Sins – DL Moody
There are men today who are in darkness and bondage because they are not willing to turn from their sins and confess them. I do not know how a man can hope to be forgiven if he is not willing to confess his sins.

God’s Grace is Always Sufficient – John Bunyan
No child of God sins to that degree as to make himself incapable of forgiveness.

How to experience God’s peace – Charles H. Brent
Peace comes when there is no cloud between us and God. Peace is the consequence of forgiveness, God’s removal of that which obscures His face and so breaks union with Him.

Gratitude – Ravi Zacharias
“Gratitude” comes from the same word as freedom (gratis = free). Gratitude is the freeing expression of a free heart toward one who freely gave.

Forgiveness is the Key – Corrie ten Boom
Forgiveness is the key which unlocks the door of resentment and the handcuffs of hatred. It breaks the chains of bitterness and the shackles of selfishness. The forgiveness of Jesus not only takes away our sins, it makes them as if they had never been.

Born of the Spirit and Washed in the Blood – AW Tozer
I am convinced that many evangelicals are not truly and soundly converted. Among the evangelicals it is entirely possible to come into membership, to ooze in by osmosis, to leak through the cells of the church and never know what it means to be born of the Spirit and washed in the blood. A great deal that passes for the deeper life is nothing more or less than basic Christianity.

When the root is bitterness, imagine what the fruit might be.

A Changed Mind and Heart – Watchman Nee
Because it has been so united with the devil it is vital for man to receive from God a change of mind before he can receive a new heart.
