The Forgiveness of Sins. 2. The Resurrection of the Body and the Life Everlasting. 1. _THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS_ has been acquired for me by my Saviour Jesus Christ; [I John 1:7+] but it is made mine by the Holy Ghost, who has brought me to faith and preserved me in it. For it is through faith that I obtain forgiveness. [Rom 5:1]
