Mark Etheridge leads us through the next sermon in our series on The Apostles' Creed - 'I believe in the the forgiveness of sins.'

Because Jesus died for our sins, we are able to receive forgiveness from our sins. 

1) True Belief Informs the Intellect - When we receive the forgiveness of our sins, our sin is canceled, and we are cleansed (1:5-7) 

John 3:19-21 (ESV) 

“It is his nature to reveal himself, as it is the property of light to shine; and the revelation is of perfect purity and unutterable majesty.”1 -John Stott 

“There is no real fellowship with God that is not expressed in fellowship with other believers.”2 -Colin Kruse 

2) True Belief Commands the Will - When we receive the forgiveness of our sins, we are positioned for obedience (1:8-10) 

3 Ways You Shouldn’t Respond to Your Sin: 

1. Deflect It
 2. Minimize It
 3. Just Saying “You’re Sorry” About It 

3) True Belief Transforms the Affections - When we receive the forgiveness of our sins, the God who was once our Judge becomes our Father (2:1-2) 

“Christ’s intercession is the continual application of his death to our salvation.”3 -John Calvin
