Redeemed and Forgiven

Redeemed and Forgiven

But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. —John 17:13-14 NKJV

How do you react when your worth as a man or woman is assaulted? What will you do when you are being falsely accused at work or in school? Will you retaliate when someone speaks unkind words about you? What will you do when your husband says or does something cruel? Will you defend yourself? Will you give someone a piece of your mind? Will you hurt them before they hurt you? What will your response be to injustice? Remember what Jesus said about His adversaries when He hung on the cross? He asked the Father to forgive them. What will you do with this powerful example of love? Rather than retaliate against those who hurt you, allow the power of God’s love and His grace to transform you. You are what His Word says you are—redeemed and forgiven!
