God’s Promise of Forgiveness (1 John 1:9)

Martin Luther, a major leader of the Reformation, had a dream. Standing at the foot of his bed was a figure he believed to be the devil. The devil had a scroll with an accurate list of all the sins Martin Luther had ever committed. The devil began reading them one-by-one, then sneered “What hope of heaven do you have as a miserable sinner?” The Lord then spoke to Luther, “Martin, tell him to unroll the scroll all the way down.” At the bottom of the scroll, underneath the long list of all his sins, were these words stained into the scroll, “This entire sin account of Martin Luther has been paid in full by the blood of Jesus Christ.”

This weekend, we look at Part 3 of our series, Standing on the Promise. We’ll look at God’s promise of forgiveness. It could be a message that changes your life!

I look forward to seeing you this weekend. - Pastor John
