TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - JANUARY 17, 2024

The Faith of Peter

Today is January 17, 2024

Peter was able to stand up and share his faith despite the entire audience knowing his failures and mistakes because he had experienced the forgiveness of God.

Forgiveness is knowing that our actions do not effect the outcome; like running a race knowing the prize is already won. Peter knew his eternity was secure, this is why he was able to stand up and share his faith.

Forgiveness should make our faith bold and free.

The problem is that we do not fully accept the forgiveness of God; believing our failures and actions affect how God views us. When we believe that, that stifles our faith.

When we say we can’t do something for God because we are not mature enough or spiritual enough, what we are really saying is that we do not think we are forgiven enough.

The bible makes it clear that forgiveness is not earned or paid for, it is only received through the grace and mercy of God.

This is why Hebrews 12:1-2 tells us to throw off the sin that so easily entangles and fix our eyes on Jesus. Our sin has been forgiven by the blood of Jesus Christ and it should not be used as an excuse not to be bold with our faith.

God’s blessing as you mediate on forgiveness in light of your mistakes and failures, and I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.
