I AM FORGIVEN - Colossians 3:13
"Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others."
DEVOTIONAL
Guilt and shame are heavy burdens, but they were never meant for you to carry. The moment you accepted Christ, your sins—past, present, and future—were washed away. You are forgiven.
Forgiveness isn’t something you earn; it’s a gift given freely by God through Jesus. The enemy may try to remind you of your past mistakes, but God has already erased them. Psalm 103:12 assures us, “As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.”
Think of the woman caught in adultery in John 8. The crowd was ready to condemn her, but Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.” He didn’t ignore her sin, but He covered it with grace and called her to a new life. That same grace is yours today.
No matter what you've done, God’s forgiveness is greater. His love covers all. Walk in the freedom of being fully forgiven, fully loved, and fully redeemed.
Reflection Questions:
1️⃣ Are there past mistakes that you struggle to forgive yourself for?
2️⃣ How does knowing that God has completely forgiven you change your perspective on His love?
3️⃣ What steps can you take to fully embrace the freedom that comes with forgiveness?
Challenge:
Write down anything that has made you feel unworthy of God’s love. Then, cross it out and write “FORGIVEN” over it. Let this be a reminder that you are no longer bound by your past—you are free in Christ.
