408. Avoiding the Temptation of Seeking God's Forgiveness
A big part of what lifeless religion brings about is that it leads people to seek certain things from God that He has already provided. Perhaps one of the most sought-after of these is forgiveness. Even in the majority of Christian circles people will often feel the need to constantly ask the Lord to forgive them of sin and wrongdoing. It's an Old Covenant mentality. This will stem from a lack of understanding about the finished work at the cross and the new-life identity that was provided to all who are in Christ. The issue of sin and forgiveness has already been dealt with by God Himself through Jesus Christ and the power of His blood. Grasping this truth will allow you to avoid condemnation and be able grow in the freedom of His love and grace.
