Hebrews 9:24-26

People commit unspeakable acts of evil. Inexcusable wrongs leave scars that may never heal in this lifetime. How can a perfect God forgive evil? How can we forgive others without accepting the unacceptable? In this three-day devotional, Andrew Palau will guide you on a Biblical exploration of what God's forgiveness really means. Rediscover the God that is just AND merciful.

Although Jesus told us in this world we would find trouble, He also offered us ways to overcome in overwhelming times. He taught His followers what I like to call 5 Steps for Overcomers—look within, look to Him, look ahead, look out, and look up. Looking in each of these directions will help us to overcome our everyday challenges, and help us to encourage others to do the same.

We read in God’s Word that without the shedding of blood, there can be no forgiveness. And obedience is better than sacrifice. The manifestation of these words play out when Jesus’ obedience led to the shedding of His blood and the ultimate sacrifice is made – for us! This is Plan Five of Nine of the book of Hebrews where we see that although salvation is free for us, there was a great cost that Jesus paid. 

How do we know we're forgiven when we mess up? How do we receive the power for living a new life every day? How do we enjoy a deep, personal connection with God? The same way we got started - by God's grace. Find out how you can live in freedom, purpose, and joy, just as God intended. Experience the full benefits of the simple gospel, simply by grace.
