Hook: Why do people struggle with feeling totally forgiven by God?

Book: When Jesus healed this man, the people properly deduced that He was Messiah, Son of David. Immediately, the religious leaders reacted and committed the sin that cannot be forgiven. They blatantly rejected the miracles and deity of Jesus, claiming they were done by the power of Satan instead of by the Holy Spirit. Their words revealed their lack of faith in Jesus and would be used against them in the Judgment. They actually condemned themselves by refusing to believe. Every sin is forgivable except unbelief. Think how different the Jesus story would be if they had believed.

Took: When did you believe in Jesus as your Savior and Lord? How does God’s forgiveness motivate you?
