Sermons on Forgiveness – Sermon outlines by members of the church of Christ on the topic of forgiveness.
Forgiveness is necessary when we have broken someone’s law or rules. In this case it is about having broken God’s laws or having had offended Him in some way. God calls it sin or iniquity (Isa. 59:1-2). Notice also Rom. 3:23; 6:23. The need for forgiveness is great and immediate.
Jesus shed His blood for the cause of forgiveness (Matt. 26:28). Forgiveness of sin is another way to say remission of sin.
The importance of forgiveness cannot be understated. It’s what we need to stand righteous before God. It takes the blood of Jesus to receive it. The New Testament tells us how to receive it.
These sermons on forgiveness teach and exemplify and prepare us for God’s offer of forgiveness.
For the non-Christian the terms of forgiveness are in teachings of Peter on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:38) and in the conversion of Paul (Acts 22:16).
For the Christian Peter’s words to Simon the former sorcerer (Acts 8:22) and John’s statement to those whom he wished to fellowship (1 John 1:7-9) give the instructions to pray for forgiveness and that it would be granted.
Please enjoy these sermons on forgiveness. Use them in your ministry and in your private study.
