Forgiveness. The most basic need of mankind in their relationship with God. Forgiveness that is available because of what Jesus accomplished on the cross on our behalf. He came to take our punishment upon Himself so that we could obtain the forgiveness that we so desperately need. The bible tells us we were dead in our sins, that we were without hope. Doomed to an eternity in hell. Then in Ephesians chapter 2 Paul tells us, "But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love for us, has made us alive in Christ even though we were dead in our sins." Because of Jesus we can have forgiveness for every sin we have ever committed or will ever commit. This section contains artwork that depicts that forgiveness of God.
