A Sinful Woman Forgiven

Come and see the power of Christ who not only heals the sick and raises the dead but also forgives sin. In Luke 7 we encounter a Pharisee who thought himself righteous and a woman whose life was known for sin. Yet it was she who poured out her tears, her perfume, and her devotion at the feet of Jesus. He turned to her and declared her forgiven. The parable of the two debtors shows us that whether your debt is small or great, you cannot pay it yourself. Only God can wipe the ledger clean.

This is the heart of the Gospel. We are not saved because we are worthy. We are saved because Christ is worthy. The more we recognize how much we have been forgiven, the deeper our love for Him becomes. Whether you have grown up in the faith or come from the pit of brokenness, the cross is where your debt is paid in full. Jesus alone forgives. He alone restores. He alone says to the sinner who turns to Him, your sins are forgiven, your faith has saved you, go in peace.
