Pastor: What do you believe concerning the forgiveness of sins?All: I believe that God, because of Christ’s satisfaction, will no longer remember any ofmy sins or my sinful nature which I need to struggle against all my life. Rather by graceGod grants me the righteousness of Christ to free me forever from judgement.
