Forgiveness of sin be preach in the name of Jesus.

 Forgiveness of Sin Preached in His Name

This is the heart of the gospel—the glorious message that has been entrusted to the church and proclaimed through the ages.

📖 The Commission and the Message

After His resurrection, Jesus explicitly connected the proclamation of forgiveness with His name:

"This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem." (Luke 24:46-47)

This was not an afterthought, but the very purpose for which He came. The apostle Peter declared it plainly:

"All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name." (Acts 10:43)

And Paul, in the synagogue of Antioch, proclaimed:

"Through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you." (Acts 13:38)

✨ What This Means

The Truth The Promise

Sin separates us from God (Isaiah 59:2) Through Jesus, we are reconciled (2 Corinthians 5:18)

The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23) The gift of God is eternal life (Romans 6:23)

No one can forgive sins but God alone (Mark 2:7) Jesus, who is God, has authority to forgive (Mark 2:10)

🕊️ A Poetic Declaration

Forgiveness of sins—preached in His name.

Not in the temples made by human hands,

Not through the keeping of religious commands,

But through the name of Jesus, the Lamb who was slain.

This is the message the apostles bore,

From Jerusalem to every shore:

That in Christ alone, the debt is paid,

That in Christ alone, our peace is made.

This is the gospel we still proclaim:

That whoever calls on Jesus' name

Shall be forgiven, shall be set free,

Shall find the mercy that flows from Calvary.

So let it be preached—on the mountain, in the street,

To the powerful ruler, to the sinner at their feet.

That forgiveness of sins, full and free,

Is found in Jesus, for you, for me.

Amen.

This is the message the world still needs to hear: that in the name of Jesus, there is not just the possibility of forgiveness, but the certainty of it for all who believe.
