The theme of forgiveness is most definitively expressed in the verses we are considering this morning: Colossians 2:13-14.
"And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross."
Let's look at the encouraging and essential doctrine of forgiveness, against the backdrop of this morning's question: "Has your criminal record been expunged?" We'll do this by considering the following:
1. Expungement means nothing to a dead person. 2. God alone is at work in the act of expungement. 3. God's expungement covers all kinds of criminal acts. 4. God's expungement satisfies all demands of the law. 5. God's expungement requires someone to be punished.
