The Apostles' Creed - Forgiveness of Sins

Mark Etheridge leads us through the next sermon in our series on The Apostles' Creed - 'I believe in the the forgiveness of sins.'<br/><br/>Because Jesus died for our sins, we are able to receive forgiveness from our sins. 1) True Belief Informs the Intellect - When we receive the forgiveness of our sins, our sin is canceled, and we are cleansed (1:5-7) John 3:19-21 (ESV) “It is his nature to reveal himself, as it is the property of light to shine; and the revelation is of perfect purity and unutterable majesty.”1 -John Stott “There is no real fellowship with God that is not expressed in fellowship with other believers.”2 -Colin Kruse 2) True Belief Commands the Will - When we receive the forgiveness of our sins, we are positioned for obedience (1:8-10) 3 Ways You Shouldn’t Respond to Your Sin: 1. Deflect It<br/> 2. Minimize It<br/> 3. Just Saying “You’re Sorry” About It 3) True Belief Transforms the Affections - When we receive the forgiveness of our sins, the God who was once our Judge becomes our Father (2:1-2) “Christ’s intercession is the continual application of his death to our salvation.”3 -John Calvin Life Church exists to glorify God by making disciples who treasure Christ, grow together, and live on mission.
