Sermon Text: Colossians 3:12-14
Sermon Theme
The act of forgiveness for all occurred when Jesus Christ died to pay the price for the sins of humankind. So, why is there no more sin in the world? Because the restoration of humanity is between man and God with an opportunity for us to choose restoration between one another. We can do that by accepting Christ’s forgiveness for others as absolute and so much align our hearts with God’s forgiveness of others. Amish Grace is the extension of God’s forgiveness on those that have sinned whether the person has repented or not. Just as Jesus dying on the cross was not conditional on humanities actions or lack of actions toward living a sinless life. It is free for all. Read Amish Grace: Forgiveness that transcends tragedy.
