Encouragement to the Family

1. Our sins are forgiven.

“The Christian is not a person who is seeking forgiveness, or who is hoping to be forgiven. The Christian is not a person who is uncertain about forgiveness or tries to merit it. No, Christians are people who know that they are forgiven.”—Martyn Lloyd-Jones

2. Fathers, you know him who is from the beginning.

“The key mark of Christian maturity in this context is knowledge of God through Jesus Christ.”—David Allen

“All Christians, mature and immature, have come to know God. But their knowledge of him ripens with the years. Time hurries on, but in all generations, they find a refuge in him who from everlasting to everlasting is God.” —John Stott

3. Young men, you have overcome the evil one.

4. You know the Father.

“The beauty of this statement is in its simplicity. The One Who is God is now our Father. And He is a good Father, a great Father, and perfect Father. No longer is He our enemy, but through forgiveness of sins and His gracious adoption, we have come to know Him as Father.”—Daniel Akin

5. Fathers, you know him who is from the beginning.

6. Young men, you are strong and victorious.
