June 27 Scripture Reading

Scripture Readings:  Psalm 115, 2 Kings 17-18:16, Ephesians 1:1-14

Reflection Verses:  Ephesians 1:7

Reflection:  The word forgiveness literally means “to send off or to send away.” In Scripture this means to separate the sinner from his sin. God accomplishes forgiveness by transferring our sin to Christ on the cross and judging it there. When an individual receives Christ as Savior, he is forgiven by means of this transfer. Now, since God has forgiven us, we ought also be forgiving in our attitude toward others.

Prayer: Lord God, I thank You for Jesus, for salvation comes only through HIM. Thank You, LORD, that in HIM, I have forgiveness of sins and I am redeemed by HIS shed blood. What a marvelous gift that Jesus has given and that I have received to enjoy the benefits of… In Jesus Name.  Amen.
