Welcome to the in touch podcast with Charles Stanley for Friday, September 27th.

Are you able to freely forgive those who hurt you?

Or do you tend to harbor hostility?

Today's podcast leads us in forgiving others in the same way as God forgives our sin.

Here's more on the ways of God.

Forgiveness for your sin is a one-time act.

For me, I was 12 years of age, knelt at the altar, asked Jesus Christ to forgive me of my sin.

I did understand that he doubt on the

cross for me. I didn't understand a whole lot more than that, but he knew my

heart that I was guilty as a 12-year-old kid, the spirit of God, he convicted

me of my sin. He saved me that day, and I've never, never doubted that.

Some are saved it 12, 20, 30, 40, 60, 70, 80, 90, or even before.

Whatever it might be.

It's a one-time act on the part of God to save you, to forgive you of your sins,

write your name in the Lamb's Book of Life.

Now watch this. Forgiveness for my salvation took care of the penalty

that he paid for once and for all. Forgiveness for my daily sins does something different.

That forgiveness saved me forever. Forgiveness for my daily sins has nothing to do with salvation. Forgiveness for my daily

sins restores my broken fellowship for getting upset with my brothers with whom I work and telling him off. It deals with that.

Or some lust that you may have or some attitude that's wrong. It may be sending it

somebody else or it may be something that's just only you know about.

So we're talking about forgiveness for salvation and forgiveness for my daily sins. So I want you to turn to a prayer that we all learned probably when we were kids.
