DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.W. Tozer emphasizes God's profound willingness to forgive sin,
addressing the common questions about why and how God forgives. He
explains that the atonement of Christ serves as God's remedy for
believers who struggle with sin, highlighting that God desires to remove
the barrier of sin that separates humanity from Him. Tozer illustrates
this through the sacrificial system of the Old Testament, pointing to
Jesus as the ultimate Lamb who takes away sin. He reassures that God's
character is rooted in forgiveness, and that He is eager to restore
those who have fallen. The message underscores the importance of
understanding God's grace and the role of Christ as our advocate.

Seekers and inquirers have often voiced this deep question of concern:
"Why does God forgive? and how does God forgive sin?" There is plain
teaching throughout the Old and New Testaments concerning God's
willingness to forgive and forget. Yet there are segments of the
Christian church which appear to be poorly taught concerning God's clear
remedy, through the atonement of Christ, for the believer who has
yielded to temptation and failed his Lord. God knows that sin is the
dark shadow standing between Him and His highest creation, man. God is
more willing to remove that shadow than we are to have it removed!

He wants to forgive and that desire is a part of God's character.

In the sacrificial death of a lamb in the Old Testament, God was telling
us that one day a perfect Lamb would come to actually take away sin.
That is how and why God forgives sin now. In John's words: "We have an
advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the
propitiation for our sins" (1 John 2:1-2a).
