Dear LovemyLord7, There are a number of verses which speak about forgiveness of sins, such as Paul, preaching about the Lord Jesus in Acts 13v38-39 "Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: Act 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses." Peace is also in a number of scripture verses, the message we bring is called the "Gospel (Good News) of peace" (Romans 10v15, Eph 6v15) Take time to trace out the "God of Peace" as well in scriptures. The best verse that brings many of these thoughts together is probably Romans 5v1 "Therefore being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ". Just note however Justification and forgiveness of sins not quite the same. Justification involves being declared righteous before God - it views GOD AS JUDGE, yet (because of the Cross) he can pass a "not guilty verdict" on anyone who believes in Christ. "Forgiveness of sins" - views GOD AS OFFENDED PARTY, our sins have been against him, but he forgives us our sins (again because of the death of Christ). How wonderful it is to be forgiven, justified, reconciled to God, sealed with the Spirit, secure in His hand etc etc, And all this is ours the moment we trust the Lord Jesus as Saviour. (take time also to distinguish between "the peace of God" which we can enjoy in our hearts (Philippians 4v7) and "peace with God" (Romans 5v1), which is the cessation of hostilities between us and God (this has nothing to do with our feelings, but with facts). I hope this helps, Andrew |
