The Gift of Forgiveness | Gifts of Christmas 3 | Pastor Keith Indovino

The message, The Gift of Forgiveness, explores how Jesus offers forgiveness, not as something we earn, but as a life-changing gift. It contrasts mistakes—accidental errors—with sin, a deliberate rebellion against God. Using Romans 5 and 7, the sermon examines sin's reality, power, and our inability to save ourselves. Through Adam, sin and death entered the world, but through Jesus, grace and life abound. Forgiveness is costly—Jesus bore our debt through His death and resurrection. The message challenges listeners to swallow their pride, admit their need, and receive this gift that restores us to God and transforms our lives.
