This presentation explores the profound nature of God's forgiveness and how He deals with our sins. It emphasizes that all accountable people sin (Romans 3:23) but can be forgiven through Christ. Key scripture references illustrate God's mercy: He casts our sins behind Him (Isaiah 38:17), removes them as far as the east is from the west (Psalm 103:12), and will never remember them again (Hebrews 10:17). We’ll examine how individuals can obtain forgiveness through belief, repentance, confession, and baptism, as well as the importance of seeking forgiveness for the erring child of God.
