30 for 30 

3. Nothing is bigger than the cross. 

Your past, your sin, your failures do not define you. God redeems ALL. For us to say that God couldn't possibly forgive something is to say the cross wasn't enough. It is to say that Jesus died for nothing. There is no sin bigger than the cross. That is the Good News, that is the Gospel. When God looks at you, as a believer, He sees His Son Jesus, not your sin. Be forgiven, be set free.

Psalm 103:1-12

Praise the Lord, my soul;

    all my inmost being, praise his holy name.

Praise the Lord, my soul,

    and forget not all his benefits—

who forgives ALL your sins

    and heals all your diseases,

who redeems your life from the pit

    and crowns you with love and compassion,

who satisfies your desires with good things

    so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

The Lord works righteousness

    and justice for all the oppressed.

He made known his ways to Moses,

    his deeds to the people of Israel:

The Lord is compassionate and gracious,

    slow to anger, abounding in love.

He will not always accuse,

    nor will he harbor his anger forever;

 he does not treat us as our sins deserve

    or repay us according to our iniquities.

For as high as the heavens are above the earth,

    so great is his love for those who fear him;

as far as the east is from the west,

    so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
