People was separated from god, and the cross again reunited people with God we can approach God personally with no more barriers.
2. From losing to winning against sins
We know what is right and should be done but we continue to turn to sin.
God gives us life.
When people do us wrong the natural reaction is to have prevent. Bible tells us to forgive, we try but we still feel the pain in our heart.
It`s difficult to forgive people who has done us wrong.
The only way is to focus on God`s love.
God can still love us even though we are sinful and are not lovable.
How many times do we forgive?
Jesus replied 7 x 70 times.
