“we do not pray as unjustified rebels who need to earn redemption, but as adopted children who know that there is nothing, not even our sin, that can separate us from the love of God. In fact, the reason we can even begin to pray for forgiveness is because of what God has already done for us, for by Father’s plan, the King’s blood, and the Spirit’s work in us, we are forgiven of everything past, present, and future and now have God living in us moving us back on the path and into a restored friendship with Him.”
