THE AMAZING FORGIVENESS OF GOD
The Amazing Forgiveness Of God
Frank Damazio
INTRODUCTION: Let us start with the cross and with a few words He spoke from the cross and focus on these words, "Father, forgive them." This message is about how to make peace with your past and get on with your life. Receiving and fully accepting the forgiveness of God is the most important step you can take.

God's total, unconditional forgiveness is tough to accept. We cannot fathom this kind of forgiveness. Forgiving you is God's idea and is made possible by Christ's death and resurrection. Ephesians 1:7 says, "In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace." Yes, it's completely mind-boggling, amazing, and true. No matter how awful your sins may have been, God forgives and forgets. God is better than you ever hoped or imagined.

4. Psalm 86:5 For You, lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You.
B. SEVEN LAST SAYINGS OF JESUS
1. Jesus was crucified at 9:00 am but remained on the cross until 3:00 pm. From 12:00 to 3:00 there was darkness over the whole land. Jesus spoke seven times during those six troubled hours ...
