Podcasts about forgiven

The Father's infinite pleasure in his own perfections is the fountain of our everlasting joy and forgiveness.

How do you know you've been forgiven? Do you have assurance thatyou've been forgiven for every sin that you've ever committed?  Well,the evidence and the proof is in the fact that you now have the ability toforgive others. You have the desire to forgive others instead of being a bitterperson, speaking evil against others, being full of malice and envy and wantingto get even and all those sorts of things and carrying a grudge on your shoulder.I'm telling you, my friend, the proof, the evidence that you have experiencedthe forgiveness of God through Christ Jesus is that you are willing and areable and have the power and ability to forgive others who have offended andhurt you, and who have caused you great pain and maybe loss.  RememberPeter ask Jesus in Matthew 18:21-22, "How often should I forgive mybrother? Seven times?” Jesus answers and says no, forgive him seventy times seven.That's how often you forgive the brother that sins against you and offends youand hurts you. Seventy time seven—that's limitless. That means you forget tocount after a while and you continue to forgive no matter what. Why and how? BecauseGod forgave you in Christ Jesus! And instead of talking evil against the personand being bitter.  Overthe years, the hardest and most difficult thing for me to deal with is bitterpeople. People who are full of bitterness because they feel like they've beenoffended. They have become a victim. It's everyone else's fault, and always blamingothers for their problems and attitudes. But my friend, the greatest blessingis to meet and know someone who has been hurt and been offended, yet likeCorrie ten Boom who forgave that guard who abused her and caused death to herfamily, they have forgiven the person who deeply hurt them.  Ohmy friend, through the grace of God we can forgive others, and we need to dothat. I love the story of Joseph in the last chapters of Genesis and how histen brothers threw him in a pit. They thought to kill him, but instead theysold him into slavery and they thought it was over. Then they lied to theirfather and said a beast must have killed him. You know the story how laterafter they were reconciled to their brother and after their father died inGenesis 50, they go to Joseph and they say, "Our father told us to cometo you again and ask for your forgiveness." And Joseph replied, "AmI in the place of God?" He went on to say, "Listen, you mighthave meant it for evil, but God meant it for good. And I'm not only going toforgive you. You don't need to be afraid. I'm going to provide for you." Bythe way, that's another evidence that you have been forgiven. You are willingto do good and “provide” to others who have deeply hurt and offended you. Why?Because God has been good to you through your forgiveness. My friend, I sure hopeand pray that we take this lesson to heart. It's one of the biggest, greatest,most powerful lessons in the Bible. There are over thirteen passages in the NewTestament encouraging us to forgive one another. In Matthew 6:14-15 Jesus said,"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father willalso forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither willyour Father forgive your trespasses.” HasGod spoken to your heart today? Is there someone you need to forgive because ofthe pain, the hurt, the bitterness in your heart that wells up inside of youwhen you think of them? You can because of the grace of God you haveexperienced! You need to see them in Christ. Remember God loves them. Christdied for them, and God wants them to have the salvation you have.  Yes,my friend, you have the ability and power to forgive when you have experienced,and you know God's forgiveness for your sins. And if you can't forgive others,maybe you need to check out whether you have truly been forgiven or notyourself. Please think about these things today! Godbless!

Today Fr. Philip offers a reflection on the parable of the unforgiving servant, and its implications for our own lives. You can find his blog with this reflection and more in written form at https://easternchristianinsights.blogspot.com/.

I am thankful that I have been forgiven for all my sins. That God now is my Father in heaven. That He loves me. Hecares for me. He meets all our needs according to His riches and glory inChrist Jesus. I have been so blessed with His forgiveness. Now that's what weread about in Ephesians 1:7. “In whom we have redemption through His blood.Yes, the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace”.  Wedon't deserve this kind of forgiveness, but God gives it to us. He forgives usbecause Christ died on the cross for our sins. Now, a couple more things aboutforgiveness we want to continue to talk about. In John 1:29, when John theBaptist introduced Jesus Christ to his public ministry, and he saw Jesus comingto be baptized, he said, "Behold the lamb of God, which takes away thesin of the world." It is possible that John was thinking about and referringto Leviticus 16. You remember in Leviticus16, the great atonement chapter ofthe Old Testament, that on the Day of Atonement, one day a year, the High Priestof Israel would take the blood of a goat into the Most Holy Place, dipped hisfingers in that blood, and then he would sprinkle it on the Mercy Seat in the MostHoly Place before a holy God.  Rememberthat the Mercy Seat was setting over the Ark of the Covenant, which includedthe law of God, the law of Moses, the law that condemns us, the law that tellsus we're sinners, which reminds us that none of us are perfect. We've allsinned and come short of the glory of God that's revealed in His moral law. Andthere the mercy seat was sitting above and over it reminding us that with Godthere is abundant mercy and kindness and grace if we'll turn to His way ofsalvation which is through the blood. (Read Dr. Towns Devotional that is postedon my website at: https://www.pmiministries.org/post/365-ways-to-know-god-by-elmer-towns-august-24 Therewas another goat called the scapegoat. And that scapegoat would be outside thetabernacle doors. The priest laid his hands on the head of that goat and confessedall the sins of the people of Israel. Symbolically he would put the sins of thepeople on the head of that goat. Then that goat then would be taken by a manthat was appointed by the priest and led out into the wilderness, and maybethere was another man further out already waiting, and he would take it furtherand further and further into the wilderness. And so finally, there is no waythat that goat could find its way back to the people of God. And my friend, thisscapegoat symbolized that their sins were not only covered there in thetabernacle, atoned for, but they were also removed.  Thatreminds me of Psalms 103:10-12 where it says: “He has not dealt with usaccording to our sins, Nor punished us according to our iniquities. For as theheavens are high above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those who fearHim; As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed ourtransgressions from us.” My friend, God's not only saved us and forgiven us,and no longer holds our sins against us, they are also no longer on ouraccount. They were put on Christ account. And on Christ account, they were paidin full.  Godhas now removed our sins from us. The removal of our sins is as far as the eastis from the west. It doesn't matter how far east you go, you can't get to thewest. And no matter how far west you go, you won't get to the east, so tospeak. They're removed from each other, never to come together.  Yoursins will never come together upon you again because you're forgiven in ChristJesus. I love what it says in Hebrews 8:11 where God says, “For I will bemerciful toward their iniquities. And I will remember their sin no more."God not only forgives us, He forgets our sins. We might not forget them, butGod does.  Forgivenand Forgotten!!!!!  Oh, how blessed weare. Today you can experience and enjoy forgiveness of sins through Christ! Godbless!

In this episode of Bible Reading and Coffee Drinking, we continue our journey through Romans by unpacking chapter 3, where Paul delivers a sobering yet hope-filled message: all of us have sinned and fall short of God's glory, but salvation is available to everyone through faith in Jesus Christ. Paul explains that we can't earn God's favor through the law—righteousness comes only by grace. This chapter is the heart of the gospel, reminding us of our desperate need for Jesus and God's incredible gift of redemption.

This week, pastor Chris taught on forgiveness from the parable of the unforgiving servant. We were reminded of the profound truth that God's forgiveness toward us is both undeserved and immeasurable—and we are called to extend that same forgiveness to others. Though forgiveness can be difficult and costly, it is a freeing act of obedience that reflects the heart of God and protects us from the torment of bitterness.

Speaker: Adam GodshallSeries: ForgivenessText: Matt. 12:37, Heb. 10:17Theme: Question: What Happens to a Forgiven Believer at the Judgement Seat?

Ibelieve what we're talking about today is one of the most important things wecan talk about in the Bible and especially in the New Testament, and that is theforgiveness of sins. The forgiveness of sins, and knowing that we'reforgiven. Yesterday we started looking at Ephesians 1:7, and there it tells usthat “in Him we have redemption through His blood”. We explained thatyesterday. Redemption through the blood. How His blood has redeemed us, has setus free from our sin, has paid the ransom price to a holy God so that we do nothave to stand guilty before Him. And then next He says, "And theforgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace."  Oneof the greatest feelings I have ever had emotionally, mentally, spiritually, inany way, humanly speaking, was the day that I knew I was forgiven for my sins.February 21st, 1971. God didn't hold my sins against me any longer. The guiltwas gone. The darkness was gone, and the burden was lifted. In the NewTestament, the forgiveness of sins is the central theme of the gospel message. Itemphasizes God's mercy and His grace through Jesus Christ. It addresses thefact that man is a sinner. That man is a fallen creature. Man is separated fromGod. Man is alienated from God. We're separated from God by our sin. And “thewages of sin is death”. The payment for sin is death. But my friend, “thegift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23).  Goddoesn't forgive us because He loves us. Many people have that mistaken idea,but that's not true. God forgives us because He sent His Son to die in ourplace for our sin. Jesus took the penalty for our sin. He took the guilt. Hetook the shame. He took all of it, the death of our sin upon Himself and diedin our place in a substitutionary way. Our sin was imputed to Him and Hisrighteousness has been imputed to us, and therefore being justified by faith wehave peace with God (Romans 5:1). The word justified means now we have a rightstanding before a holy God. We're no longer guilty before a holy God.  Theonly way to be forgiven is to first recognize that you need to be forgiven.That you find yourself under the weight and guilt of your sin and you have noway to deal with that. Going to church, living a good life, doing good deeds,doing anything you're trying to do to remove your sin. The sacraments,religion, nothing can remove your sin. No priest, no man on earth can removeyour sin, my friend. Only one person can, and that is Jesus Christ through thedeath, His death on the cross of Calvary. And when we acknowledge that, then wecan cry out to God for forgiveness in repentance of our sins. Atthat point, we express our faith and trust in what Jesus did for us on thecross. And that's when the moment of salvation takes place and we are forgiven becausewe have a Savior, Jesus Christ. There is no other way (Acts 4:12). Oh, nogreater experience than to be forgiven. And that's the love God has for us(John 3:16). He sent His Son to die for us. Love is expressed in the fact thatHe does forgive us through His mercy and the grace of Jesus Christ on the cross. That'swhy when we forgive those who trespass against us those who hurt us we areexpressing not our love because our love is pretty faulty at best, but we'reexpressing God's love because God is love and God only can forgive sin and myfriend you have experienced that, it's then for Christ's sake that you canforgive others, not that they deserve it any more than we deserved it.  Well,this is a great truth. We have the forgiveness of sin according to the richesof His grace. Have you been forgiven? I trust you have.  Godbless!

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, host Hunter guides us through August 19th's scripture readings, taking us on a journey from Jeremiah chapters 45 and 47, to Psalm 105, and ending with John 21. Hunter reflects on powerful themes of God's unwavering love and faithfulness—even in the face of failure, brokenness, and exile. Through the story of Peter's restoration by Jesus, we're invited to see ourselves as loved, forgiven, and renewed, no matter the weight of our past mistakes. Along the way, Hunter encourages us to let God's love reshape our lives so we can share that same hope with others. The episode concludes with heartfelt prayers and gratitude for this global community of listeners. So, wherever you are, settle in as we warm our hearts together by the fires of God's love, and remember: you are deeply loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Love is rooted in God. He is love's origin and source. That is who he is. God is love. His love is not conditioned on our response, our attitudes, our prayers, or our work for him. It simply is, because that is who God is. The rock that Peter is and will become is quarried from the rock that is Christ himself. He's a chip off the old block. Peter's very being is rooted in God. Something fundamental has shifted. Peter has been drawn into the life of Christ. This is, to use a big word, an ontological reality that Peter must begin to grapple with, and must allow to transform his entire being. Peter no doubt struggled with the failure that was his denial of Christ. He no doubt struggled to see himself in any other way than as weak, a fraud, a failure. I'm sure there was a mountain of self-loathing in the wake of his denial. So Jesus asks Peter three times this fundamental question: Do you love me? Jesus is chipping away at all the ways we see ourselves and frame our lives, that stand in the way of us fully participating in what really is, and who we really are. Peter has to know that he himself is loved, forgiven, that he is in Christ. Christ sees something in Peter that Peter is struggling to see himself: God's love, God's love for him. And Peter needs to see in others what God has already seen in him. Those sheep, Peter, they're like you. They have failed. They are hiding. They are afraid. They are ashamed. But the truth is, like you, they are already forgiven. The truth is that they are new. The truth is that they are loved. Now go tell them. Feed them with this gospel. Now, enough about Peter. Let's talk about you. Jesus sees something in you. And you, like Peter, might be struggling to see it. Maybe Jesus is chipping away at all the many ways that your failures have framed your life. Well, the truth is that your real life is hidden with God in Christ. And the more that you begin to awaken to that reality and God's love for you, the more you will be able to offer that love to God's sheep—to all the people you see today, all the people living under the crushing weight of their failures and shame. Let God chip away at those things that keep you from seeing what God really sees in you: that you are already forgiven, that you are already loved, that you are already in Christ. Now offer this message to everyone in your world. Feed his sheep. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

"Blessed are the Forgiven" Charlie Woodward, 8.17.25 by

The Bible speaks of "a new day" in several contexts, often signifying new beginnings, renewed mercies, and God's faithfulness. It can refer to the literal dawning of each day as a fresh opportunity, or it can symbolize a spiritual renewal and a chance to start anew with God's grace. Here's a more detailed look.1. FIRST: The Literal New Day:  Lamentations 3:22-23:"Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness." This verse emphasizes that each new morning brings a fresh experience of God's enduring love and compassion. Psalm 51:10:"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me." This verse highlights the daily need for spiritual cleansing and renewal, aligning with the idea of a fresh start each day. Genesis 1:5:"And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day." This establishes the pattern of evenings and mornings, signifying the cyclical nature of days and the new opportunities they bring. 2.

"Becoming a Christian, Part 2: Forgiven"Luke 5:17-26Rev. Jerry Ornelas8.10.25visit cpcnewhaven.org

It's a real-life story about broken relationships, second chances, and the tough call to forgive. Through the lens of Philemon, Onesimus, and Paul, the message dives into what it really means to forgive someone who's hurt you—and how God's grace gives us the power to do it.With honest stories, a little humor, and straight talk about bitterness, resentment, and healing, the speaker reminds us that forgiveness isn't about pretending things didn't happen. It's about choosing love over payback, and freedom over holding grudges. If you've ever struggled to forgive (or needed forgiveness yourself), this sermon offers hope, truth, and a fresh perspective on what it means to forgive like Jesus.

Sam Kennedy echoed a lot of Craig Breslow's comments about the trade deadline and emphasized making moves that the fans want. Does this signify the front office and ownership turning over a new leaf or is there still reason to be skeptical?

Speaker: Mitchell DuncanJesus teaches that forgiveness isn't about counting offenses—it's about reflecting the immeasurable grace we've received. The parable of the unforgiving servant reveals that holding onto bitterness after being forgiven an impossible debt exposes a heart untouched by the cross. True forgiveness flows not from obligation, but from a life transformed by mercy and freed from the cycle of revenge.

Second Baptist Church - Houston, TX | In Psalm 32, David writes about his spiritual journey - from committing a grave sin, to crafting a dark coverup, then to finding forgiveness and freedom and relief. In it, we see the penalty and power of sin, many principles on forgiveness, as well as faint prophesy about the Person who holds the keys of forgiveness and freedom in His nail-scarred, loving hands. 

We live in a world quick to cancel and slow to forgive—a condemn-nation where shame is loud and grace is silent. But what if there's another way? In this episode, we break down Romans 8:1–2 and uncover a promise from God's Kingdom: there is no condemnation for those in Christ. Through Paul's raw struggle in Romans 7, we see the reality of failure—but we also see freedom. If you've ever felt disqualified, rejected, or stuck in your past, this message is for you. The verdict has already been declared: Forgiven. Free. Favored.

Rev. Cody Janicek Matthew 18:21-35 A sermon of Rocky Mountain Community Church, PCA in Billings, MT   (8/3/2025)

Thank you so much for your prayers the last couple days during ourtravels to Colorado. God gave us traveling mercies. We did experience somedifficulty catching our flight from Dulles to Roanoke, yet the Lord provided abus for us, which was a long ride with the rain and terrible conditions onInterstate 81. But we made it back to Salem safely last night, and our dearfriends Johnny and Linda King picked us up and took care of us. On top of it,God gave us a wonderful divine appointment in His providence, and that'sanother story for another time. God is so good, and we thank you for yourprayers.  Today, I feel led,because it is the second day of August, to look at Psalm 32, which is the firstof the five Psalms readings for today. I encourage you to read the Psalms withus or read them yourself. Five Psalms a day will get you through the Book ofPsalms every month. Oh, how we need to be reminded of God's mercy, because inthe Old Testament especially, we read so much about the wrath of God, thepunishment of God, and the chastisement of God upon His people and the nations.Therefore, it's great to have a book right in the middle of the Old Testament,so to speak, that reminds us of God's wonderful mercy. Yesterday, we discussedPsalm 1, and found blessed is the man who walks with God and meditates in HisWord. We find not only are we blessed that way, but we're blessed when our sinsare forgiven. That's how Psalm 32 starts. David is calling out to God toforgive him for his sin. His sin was significant, as he committed adultery andthen murder. He's crying out to God for forgiveness, confessing not only hissin but the iniquity of his sin—the motive behind it, being selfish,self-centered, and letting pride creep into his life, thinking he could make iton his own without God. That's what always leads us to drift away from God. Remember, we said blessed is the man who walks with the Lord, who is in God'sWord and becomes like a tree planted by the rivers of water in Psalm 1. But nowin Psalm 32, blessed is the person whose sin is forgiven. To have our sinsforgiven, there must be confession. Verses 2-4 go on to say, “Blessed is theman in whom the Lord counts no iniquity and in whose spirit there is no deceit.For when I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all the daylong. For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me. My strength was dried upas by the heat of summer.” David tried to hide his sin, covering it up, andhe felt the oppression of God upon him, the hand of God pushing him down. Hefelt the heaviness, guilt, and burden of that sin. Then, in verse 5, Davidsays, “I acknowledged my sin to You, and I did not cover my iniquity. Isaid, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,' and You forgave theiniquity of my sin.” Not only the sin David committed, because that wasn'tthe real problem. The real problem was the motive, the iniquity, thereason—what took place in his heart that led to that sin. He confessed that.  David says in verse 6, “Therefore,let everyone who is godly offer prayer to You at a time when You may be found.Surely in the rush of great waters, they shall not reach him.” In otherwords, when times of trouble come, they won't overwhelm you if you haveconfessed your sins.  Yes, blessed is the manwho meditates in God's Word, who doesn't walk or run around with the wrongpeople, as in Psalm 1. But now, blessed is the man whose sin is covered. Godhas taken care of it through the blood of Jesus Christ. There's no greaterfeeling, no greater emotion, no greater thing that can happen to you and methan to know our sins are covered. That they are forgiven. God has removed themfrom us. Why? Because He placed them on Jesus Christ 2,000 years ago, and Hepaid the price for those sins so that when we confess our sins, we can be setfree.  Today, are you experiencingand enjoying the blessing of your sins being forgiven?

In this powerful Morning Prayer session, Pastor Sean Pinder teaches from John 8:1-11—the unforgettable story of the woman caught in adultery. Though she stood guilty before men, Jesus offered her what no one else could: mercy, forgiveness, and a fresh start.If you've ever struggled with guilt, shame, or the weight of past mistakes, this message is for you. Pastor Sean reminds us that no matter how far we've fallen, the grace of God can lift us up. You may be guilty—but in Christ, you are forgiven.

Today's Promise: 1 John 2:1 When you became a Christian, Jesus forgave your sin and gave you His rightness before God. Although you may try to live a life of holiness and obedience, there are times when you fall into sin. Instead of feeling guilty and condemned for what you have done, remember Jesus is on your side. He stands between you and God the Father, and His blood forgives your sin. Jesus stands between you and God. Instead of God seeing your sin, He sees the righteousness of Jesus in you.

Adrian Rogers – “The most miserable man  on Earth is not an unsaved man but a saved man out of  fellowship with God.” The How of Confession... 1. Appeal 2. Admission 3. Alignment “If we want to be clean, we have to come clean.” Be quick to confess sin Be specific in confessing sin Be sure of God's forgiveness  

To be forgiven you must forgive others. It really is that simple. You can't ask for something you aren't willing to give to someone else.Why do I need to be a person who forgives? Christ instructs us to be forgiving.Doing the will of the Father is a sign that salvation has taken place in your life, which is the key to accessing heaven.It's a wise instruction, which leads to stability. It allows God to work through us for kingdom purposes.We forgive others because we have been forgiven.One might argue that if no one is worthy of forgiveness, everyone is equally deserving of forgiveness.Matthew 6:14-15, Matthew 6:12, Matthew 7:21-23, Matthew 18:21-22, Matthew 7:24-27, John 6:38, Philippians 2:13-15, Ephesians 4:32, Luke 17:3-4, Matthew 5:44-45, Colossians 3:12-13, 1 Peter 2:19, Romans 12:20

Psalm 32 shows us the incredible beauty of the forgiveness that God is able to pour out upon us through Christ. Join us in celebrating that beauty through this Psalm!
