1 John 1:9 April 7, 2024 When Jesus rose from the grave, He conquered death and sin. This act of victory sealed the deal that His blood and sacrifice was powerful for our forgiveness. As Paul says, “if Jesus didn’t rise, our faith is futile and we’re still in our sins.” But, because He did rise, our faith is NOT futile and we are forgiven in Him. And, we have now the ability to forgive others as well.
