FORGIVEN

PSALM 38:4 (ABP)
My wrongdoing weighs heavily on me;
dragging me down.

COLOSSIANS 2:14 (MSG)
All sins forgiven, the slate wiped clean, that old arrest warrant canceled and nailed to Christ’s cross.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Through the action of Christ, our sins have all been forgiven and no longer drag us down.

PRAYER
Dear Savior, I'm grateful for the cross and resurrection which together renders my sin moot. This reality hasn't yet fully sunk into my heart and at times I still let sin drag me down. Lift me up! Encourage me to live according to what Christ has down. This is the good news by which I'm going to live and which I'm going to share. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name; your Kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
