[email protected] slash 21 days. Welcome to today, six Forgiven by Jesus. What a gift we have in Christ in his forgiveness and freedom from condemnation. First John chapter one, verse nine says that if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. My prayer today for you is that, that you would realize the gift that we have in Christ, and it brings such gratitude to hear that our sins are forgiven, our dead of sin is canceled, that we stand with no condemnation, brings so much joy. And also we're invited into a conversation with Christ of ongoing purification through confession that causes an ongoing daily transformation in our lives. So let's pray. Lord, we pray for our world that, that it would experience true forgiveness, that, that we would be able to express your radical forgiveness to those around us. Father, we pray for our church that it would impact our community as we share this gospel of love and forgiveness to them. And Lord, personally and corporately, we confess anything that's keeping us from you today. And we accept your forgiveness in our lives as we extend forgiveness to others. We love you. Amen.
