Jesus says to forgive not just seven times but seventy times seven. This isn’t a math problem but rather a spiritual lesson: forgiveness should be an extended act of love based on the fact that we are forgiven.

This credit of righteousness also applies to us. We are to believe in God who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.

David had sinned and felt the pain of guilt; now he rejoiced in the fact that he had been forgiven and his relationship to God had been restored.

God cannot ignore sin, but He also extends the blessing of forgiveness. This gift of forgiveness is not for the purpose of enabling us to persist in sin; rather, forgiveness gives us the blessing of being able to follow God and serve Him.

Notice the effect of this sacrifice: through it, we are being made holy. We are being transformed day by day into image of Jesus.

Every single one of us will fall short. Thank God it’s not up to our ability to be perfect! He offers forgiveness. Trust in Jesus Christ to be forgiven from your sins.

While God might forgive disobedience, His people will suffer the results of their actions. His forgiveness does not exempt people from the consequences of opposing Him.

All have sinned against God. Daniel’s prayer here can be a model of our confession—urgent, anguished, and crying out to God for His mercy.

God invites you to come to Him, to acknowledge your sin, and to accept His forgiveness. Bring your darkest places before Him today, and see how His love transforms your life into His light.

One day we will see how God the Master Weaver has taken the threads and loose ends in the broken stories of our lives.
