The Power of Being Forgiven

Lessons from the parables in Luke 7:36-50

Spiritual pride leads to condemnation and judgement of others
Spiritual brokenness leads to humility and contrition before others

The act of true forgiveness flows from grace
The experience of true forgiveness produces authentic love for God and others

True forgiveness precedes true love
True forgiveness is complete and free

If we trivialize sin, we will trivialize forgiveness
Great sinners will become great lovers of Jesus when we grasp how great is our forgiveness

Love for Jesus and forgiveness of others is the prime evidence of the power of being forgiven
