Pastor Greg Laurie says believers have been forgiven of their sin.

And when we focus forward, we can actually forgive ourselves.

We break the power of the past by living for the future.

This is the day when the lost are found.

This is the day of a moment again.

Amazing grace, I'll sleep the snow. Again you get a lonely angel for free now.

This is the day the day when life begins.
