First of all this Bible study let God reveal to me the depth of my sin, my anger and bitterness, and the real need to trust and obey, and with that to forgive. Second, for the first time I looked at all the scriptures that dealt with what Jesus really did for us on the cross -- even separating himself from His Father for a time when he took on all of our sins. Until this study it was hard to understand why he had to be the blood offering for our sins. Third, through Christ's suffering I was able to understand that he really did understand my pain, and helped me to understand my need to forgive as God has forgiven me my sins. I never wanted to tie to two together, but once I started, I began to feel the freedom that forgiveness brings. Last, but not least was that God is HOLY and that I need to TRUST AND OBEY His Word. The only way to do that is to continue to study His Word until He calls me home. I am so grateful the Lord revealed so much to me through this study and I also want to thank my wonderful counselor who kept me focused and brought to me the additional scriptures and resources I needed to really "get it." God be Praised!
