The Edge - Understanding Forgiveness

Hello everyone! Today, we're exploring a foundational Christian principle: forgiveness. In this video, we unpack the biblical understanding of forgiveness, which is crucial for both our spiritual growth and our daily interactions. We'll look into two specific types of forgiveness—judicial, which God grants us once we accept Christ, and conditional fellowship forgiveness, which continues throughout our Christian journey.

Here's what we'll discuss:

Judicial Forgiveness: We are eternally forgiven through Christ's sacrifice, as highlighted in Ephesians 1:7 and Colossians 2:13. This forgiveness is unconditional and complete, covering all our past sins.
Conditional Fellowship Forgiveness: As explained in 1 John 1:9, this type of forgiveness depends on our ongoing willingness to confess our sins. It's about maintaining our daily walk and relationship with God.
We'll also differentiate between Vertical Forgiveness (directly between us and God) and Horizontal Forgiveness (between us and other people), drawing on teachings from Mark 11:25 and Luke 17:3-4.
Practical tips and scriptural advice on how to apply these types of forgiveness in our lives, ensuring we live out our faith authentically and maintain healthy relationships.
