Thank you for that information.
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
In the time that we have left,
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.07
I want you to take
pen, pencil, paper.
00:00:04.10\00:00:06.10
If your fingers are real fast,
00:00:06.13\00:00:07.47
you can do this on
your iPad or your iPhone.
00:00:07.54\00:00:10.91
Just a bunch of text
that you may want to look up
00:00:10.94\00:00:12.61
and sort of reinforce
what we've been talking about,
00:00:12.64\00:00:14.78
then I'm going to give Shelley
and Brian 30 seconds a piece
00:00:14.81\00:00:17.15
to try to put a
little bow on this.
00:00:17.18\00:00:19.55
Psalms 86:5, "God
is ready to forgive."
00:00:19.58\00:00:22.62
Jeremiah 31:34,
00:00:22.65\00:00:24.52
"He will forgive
and remember no more."
00:00:24.55\00:00:26.22
Isaiah 55:7,
00:00:26.25\00:00:28.79
"If we forsake, He will pardon."
00:00:28.82\00:00:30.33
That's very important.
00:00:30.36\00:00:31.69
It correlates with 1 John
1:9, "If we confess our sins,
00:00:31.73\00:00:34.56
He is faithful
and just to forgive."
00:00:34.60\00:00:36.26
Luke 6:37,
"Forgive to be forgiven."
00:00:36.30\00:00:39.60
Matthew 6:12,
00:00:39.63\00:00:41.70
"Forgive our debts
as we forgive those
00:00:41.74\00:00:43.81
who trespass or our debtors."
00:00:43.84\00:00:46.27
Ephesians 4:32,
00:00:46.31\00:00:48.41
"Forgive one another,
preferring one another."
00:00:48.44\00:00:50.48
I love that text.
00:00:50.55\00:00:51.88
Isaiah 1:18,
00:00:51.91\00:00:54.22
"Though your sins be a scarlet,
00:00:54.25\00:00:55.58
Christ will make
them as white as snow."
00:00:55.62\00:00:57.39
Micah 7:19,
00:00:57.42\00:00:59.69
"He will cast those sins
in the depths of the sea."
00:00:59.72\00:01:02.62
And I would add and
put up a no fishing sign.
00:01:02.66\00:01:06.03
Shelley, Brian, 30
seconds a piece if you will.
00:01:06.06\00:01:08.36
The thought I had when
you first introduced us
00:01:08.40\00:01:10.37
when are we most like God,
00:01:10.40\00:01:12.37
I think we're most like God
00:01:12.40\00:01:13.74
when we are loving
others with an unselfish,
00:01:13.77\00:01:18.07
other-centered love.
00:01:18.11\00:01:20.68
And I believe, you
know, God says that
00:01:20.71\00:01:23.55
He is
long-suffering and patient.
00:01:23.58\00:01:25.51
He is a forgiving God.
00:01:25.55\00:01:29.15
Forgiveness is a choice.
00:01:29.18\00:01:31.25
It's a choice of love.
00:01:31.29\00:01:32.85
It's a choice that
God made toward us,
00:01:32.89\00:01:37.99
for us through Christ.
00:01:38.03\00:01:40.33
And it's something that frees us
00:01:40.40\00:01:44.83
from pain and problems.
00:01:44.87\00:01:47.47
Amen.
00:01:47.54\00:01:48.87
Brian, yours is
down to 10 seconds.
00:01:48.90\00:01:50.24
Okay.
00:01:50.27\00:01:51.74
The compromised
church in Revelation,
00:01:51.77\00:01:53.71
that's Pergamos to
the saints in that church,
00:01:53.78\00:01:57.65
Jesus said
00:01:57.68\00:01:59.35
that He would give
them a white stone,
00:01:59.38\00:02:01.95
and on that stone,
a new name written.
00:02:01.98\00:02:04.72
Amen, amen. Okay.
00:02:04.75\00:02:06.12
They're the ones who overcame
and were forgiven of their sins
00:02:06.15\00:02:10.53
and had a whole new
name, a whole new character.
00:02:10.56\00:02:12.76
Amen. Amen.
00:02:12.79\00:02:14.33
Our time has
slipped into eternity.
00:02:14.36\00:02:16.00
We'll see you again
soon. Bye-bye and God bless.
00:02:16.03\00:02:18.80
