Summary
Hosts
If you are in Christ, then your sins are forgiven. Yes, Christ paid the price for all sins on the Cross, but it is only those who are in Christ — those who have faith — who benefit from this forgiveness. And this forgiveness is total, God promises not only to forgive, but says that He will forget our sins — a total erasure.
‘As far as the east is from the west,
so far does He remove our transgressions from us.’
As Christians, we are called to turn and show the same forgiveness and mercy to our brothers and sisters that God has shown to us in Christ. Forgiveness is part of the Christian life with regard to the Christian’s relationship to God and also with regard to the Christian’s relationships with others. The Law accuses us — it reveals our sins —, but we are not called to despair, but to repent and rejoice. God has already forgiven all of your sins; in the words of Christ:
“It is finished.”

| 0:00.0 | The |
| 0:07.0 | The Welcome to the Stone Choir podcast. I am Corey J. Mahler. And I'm still, whoa. On today's Stone |
| 0:44.9 | Choir, we're going to be discussing the subject of forgiveness. Last week, we spent a couple hours |
| 0:50.8 | talking about the state of young men in the world today and the state of the |
| 0:54.8 | world as it relates to their future lives. We had a ton of feedback on that episode. And I wanted |
| 1:01.5 | to do this episode, Corey and I wanted to specifically address forgiveness because people reached |
| 1:08.0 | some logical conclusions, some right conclusions from listening that weren't necessarily the ones that we had in mind. |
| 1:14.3 | And so we wanted to talk briefly about why that happened, how that works, and more fundamentally, how forgiveness plays out in the Christian life with each other. |
| 1:27.2 | One of the things that we talked about last week was the blow up a few years ago in the |
| 1:33.3 | Christian space around debt-free virgins without tattoos. |
| 1:37.0 | And as we discussed some of the implications of that, at no point that Cori or I ever explicitly |
| 1:43.1 | say that unless a girl is debt-free without tattoos and without a body count, she is unfit. |
| 1:50.6 | Because we don't believe that. |
| 1:52.3 | That's, as we did say, that's a test that's virtually impossible for anyone today. |
| 1:58.8 | Simply because so much of the world including |
| 2:01.5 | frankly within the church is oriented around papering over or actually condoning |
| 2:07.8 | things that can be harmful and so as we were specifically addressing young men |
| 2:13.4 | we wanted to make the point that given a set of 10 girls, if you have a choice of one who potentially has made fewer mistakes, she, all the things being equal, it's probably a better choice. |
| 2:27.6 | On the other hand, things are never always equal. |
| 2:30.3 | You know, there are a lot of different reasons why someone might go into debt, how much debt they go into, what kind of tattoos they get, where they get them. |
| 2:38.2 | I have an ex who had a tattoo on the side of one of her feet that said, walk by faith, because it was a tribute to her father who had died. |
| 2:47.4 | And at one point, she was working in a company where there was a Japanese visitor who noticed the tattoo she was wearing sandals that day. |
