"Forgiving" - (Red Letter Challenge)
Today we enter the “forgiving” week of the Red Letter Challenge. We have been graciously forgiven by our loving God. Jesus our Savior took our sins upon Himself on the cross, and has given us forgiveness as a free gift of His grace, received by faith. As forgiven people, we are called to be forgiving to others. We are called to take to heart the words in the Lord’s prayer “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.”
From Series: "The Red Letter Challenge"
Many Bible are printed (or appear online) with the words of Jesus in red. This is a way to draw attention to the voice of our Savior. But our Lord would have us not only reading or hearing His words. He wants us to take them to heart, to integrate them in our lives, and to put them into practice. This is the Red Letter Challenge. For forty days (beginning Tuesday, September 24), we will be challenged to put the “Red Letter” words of Jesus into practice.
