God is Quick to Forgive

Day 1 – Read Daniel 9:9God will forgive you no matter what you have done. He knows what you have done wrong, and Jesus has provided a way for you to be forgiven of your sins. God will not only forgive, but He will forget. You just have to ask Him for forgiveness.

Day 2 – Read Daniel 9:9

Write it down. Think about and memorize this verse today.

Day 3

Have you ever asked God for forgiveness of things you did wrong?

Get some cards and write down some things you have done wrong. Only write them down if you are really sorry for what you have done. Ask God to forgive you.

Write “Forgiven” in red pen or marker over what you wrote down. Jesus forgave you BEFORE you sinned. He forgave you when He died on the cross.
Thank God for forgiving you and then throw those cards away. Jesus forgives and you don’t have to carry that sin around any more.

Give it a try!

Try this fun activity to understand God’s forgiveness. Take an old t-shirt and cover it with food. Have fun with this! Hang the shirt outside for a few days. Watch the shirt get gross for those few days. It will smell and be covered by bugs. It might even have holes from other animals. That t-shirt represents your nasty sin. After seeing the shirt, would you wear the shirt again? I am sure you will say “No Way!” but God would put it on for you. He would not only put it on for you, but He will forgive you and give you a brand new shirt to wear.
How does this teach you about God’s forgiveness?

Day 4

There is another story in the Bible that explains how God forgives you and how you should forgive others. A “debt” is a word that we use when we owe something to somebody. This story is about a man who had a huge debt to a king; one so big he couldn’t pay it back. Read this story and see how the king forgives him and how the man responds to others after he was forgiven.

Read Matthew 18: 23-33. How is the king like God, who forgives you for your sin? How should the man have responded after he was forgiven?

Day 5

Is there someone that you need to forgive? This week, when someone wrongs you, try to forgive them. God forgave you so you should forgive others.
