Forgiveness

The Doctrine of Forgiveness

Matthew 18:34, 35:
34 And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him.
35 So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.

"Forgiveness" is easier to say than do. Yet it is required of each of us if we desire to be forgiven by God.There is much to be said about the topic from various angles. I began working on this topic with greater detail in 2005 while laboring with the church in Sunnyside, WA. In 2018, 2019 I continued to build on those studies while laboring with the Indiana Ave. church of Christ in Lubbock, Texas. Below are the continued fruits of my studies. My hope is for you to find forgiveness in Christ and to be able to forgive those who sin against you as even as Christ forgives.

How To Call On The Lord To Be Saved?

It is a phrase which is often stated but one that is unlikely explained. You must "call on the name of the Lord" to be saved. But what does it mean? How do we call on the name of the Lord today?

This command was also unclear to many of the Jews in the first century. The apostle Peter was preaching the gospel to thousands on the day of Pentecost wherein he quoted from the prophet Joel, "And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the LORD Shall be saved" (Acts 2:21).

After he testified against their deeds and after he gave irrefutable proof that Jesus was the Christ, the people were pierced to the heart and asked a very important question, "Men and brethren, what shall we do?" (Acts 2:37). If they knew "how to call on the name of the Lord, they would not have asked, "what shall we do?"

The Plan of Salvation

Have you obeyed the gospel? Is the gospel to be obeyed and if so, what is required? We know the gospel is to be obeyed because Paul said of our Lord’s second coming,

“in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ” (2 Thess. 1:8).
