THE FULLNESS OF FORGIVENESS\nThe Fountain of Forgiveness\nApril 3, 2016\n\nPlease turn in your Bibles to Matthew 26:26-29\n\nThe Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14\n\n\u201cWithout the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.\u201d Hebrews 9:22b\n\nAnd the LORD God commanded the man, \u201cYou are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.\u201d Genesis 2:16-17\n\nThe LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.\nGenesis 3:21\n\n \u201cLook, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:29\n\nThe reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life\u2014only to take it up again. 18No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. John 10:17-18\n \nBenefits of The Fullness of Forgiveness\n\n1: We no longer need to fear death and judgment \n\nTherefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. 3For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering.\nRomans 8:1-3\n\n2: Satan can no longer accuse us\n\nGod made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, 14having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; He took it away, nailing it to the cross. Colossians 2:13-14\n\n3: We can walk in freedom from guilt \n\n\u2026being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6\n\nTHE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS\n\n1: Blood is the source of life\n\nFor the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one\u2019s life. \nLeviticus 17:11\n\n2: Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin\n \n\u201cWithout the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.\u201dHebrews 9:22b\n\n3: Jesus\u2019 blood was the fruition of all previous sacrifices\n\nThis is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many \nfor the forgiveness of sins. Matthew 26:28\n\n4: Your worth is established by the price that was paid for you\n\nFor you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, 19but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. 1Peter 1:18-19\n\n5: Our triumph in the last days is hinged on our understanding of the power of the blood \n\n\u201cNow have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God,\nand the authority of his Messiah.\nFor the accuser of our brothers and sisters,\nwho accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.\n11 They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb\nand by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much\nas to shrink from death. Revelation 12:10-11\n\n6: The blood serves to remind us of a personal invitation to the wedding supper of \nthe Lamb \n29I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father\u2019s kingdom.\u201d Matthew 26:29\n\nWhat is God\u2019s Spirit speaking into your life today?
