Don't Waste Your Forgiveness

Sep 27, 2026 • Mark South

In this sermon, Pastor Mark explores Ephesians 1:7–10 and urges us to use the grace God has already given us in Christ. Jesus' blood has redeemed us from the real guilt of our trespasses, and His forgiveness is sufficient for both our sins and the sins committed against us. God's grace makes us rich through union with Christ, and He lavishes it on us rather than rationing it. This redemption is part of God's purpose to display Christ and, in the fullness of time, unite all things in Him. Because that future is coming, we can begin surrendering our wills to Christ today instead of wasting the life His blood has purchased.
