Forgiveness

One-sentence summary

Scriptures

If you, Lord, kept a record of sins,

Lord, who could stand?

so that we can, with reverence, serve you.

I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,

and in his word I put my hope.

For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
