I understand TGIF stand for many things ranging from;

In my write-up I’ll be concentrating on TGIF as “Thank God I’m forgiven.”

Forgiveness is what God has accomplished for us in Christ.

Rob Rufus puts it more radically when he said. “nowhere in the New Testament does it say that we must repent for our sins. It says we must repent of dead works (Hebrews 10). The Church is confessing their sin and repenting of their sin. No – repent of unbelief! The only sin in the New Covenant is unbelief!

Every other sin was dealt with at the Cross. This sounds radical but this is the New Testament! ..when you go back under law then it is… not based on faith and without faith it is impossible to please God….I hate law and I hate it because of what it does to God’s people. We are living with a hangover of Israel that God had to bring the law in.

Now Jesus came on the Cross to redeem us from the law that the blessing given to Abraham can come on the Gentiles through the power of the Spirit by faith. We are still living under the law 2000 years later in the absence of the greatest signs and wonders and miracles. 18 long years. 18 years is the number for bondage. In the book of Judges it says that Israel will be in captivity for 18 years. 6-6-6. 3 = perfection. 6 = human pride and human effort. The mark of the beast is 666 so what is the mark of the beast? Legalism. Human effort. Babylonian religion. Not the Gospel of the New Covenant!

Jeremiah 33:8
I will cleanse them from all the sin they have committed against me and will forgive all their sins of rebellion against me.

Inspirational Nugget = God forgave us in Christ.
