Bible Question:
Why is forgiveness so important in Christianity? Is forgiveness more emphasized in NT and in OT? Is it different type of forgiveness? Thanks for your reply ahead. |
Bible Answer: The entire Bible stresses the need for forgiveness. Even Adam needed forgiveness. the books of the Old Testament and the New both show our need. In the Old, forgiveness was shown through the sacrifices. the New showed us that the sacrifices were types of what Christ did on the cross. He was and is the Lamb of God. Without forgiveness we are left with only God's Jugement against sin. |
