The Twelve Apostles #4 - Jesus Loved Them To The End These were my introductory comments when I originally wrote out this message: I preach once a week at the Gospel Mission. This past week, I was having a hard time deciding what to preach on. There were two themes that were competing with each other in my mind, and I could not decide which one I would actually preach on Friday (thinking that I needed to choose between the two). The choice was either between continuing my series on The Apostles , or preaching a message on The Love Of God . As the week progressed the second theme took on more of a preeminence, but I was still desiring to build upon the prior messages on the apostles.

The Perfection Of Forgiveness Sections In This Study: Introduction   (See below) Part One - Forgiven Seventy Times Seven  (See below) Part Two - The Name Of Jesus Part Three - Sevenfold Covenants And The New Covenant Part Four - The Spotless Lamb Of God Part Five - The Perfection Of Christ Part Six - We Are Spotless In The Eyes Of God Part Seven - Sevenfold Forgiveness Introduction One thing that I have been amazed at lately is what I am going to call “the perfection of forgiveness.” There are so many verses and words used to describe the forgiveness we have in the Lord Jesus Christ, from various perspectives.
