    Why this printable matters

    Forgiveness is the most expensive miracle in the universe. It cost God His Son. It cost Jesus His life. And it is offered to us free — every time we ask. Refusing forgiveness, whether we refuse to receive it from God or to extend it to another, is refusing the one transaction the cross was designed to make. These 30 verses trace forgiveness from David's confession in Psalm 51, through Jesus' shocking parables, to John's plain promise that the blood of Jesus cleanses from all sin. They will help the believer trapped in guilt receive grace. They will help the wounded believer extend grace. Print a stack. Hand them out in recovery ministry. Slip one in the card to the family member you have not spoken to in years. Forgiveness is the only weapon that wins both sides of the war.

    How to use this printable

    1. 1

      Print on cardstock

      Standard printer paper works, but 65–110 lb cardstock makes the cards durable enough for daily wallet carry.

    2. 2

      Cut along the dotted lines

      Each sheet contains 8 cards. Use scissors or a paper cutter — no special tools required.

    3. 3

      Place them where they're needed

      Bathroom mirror, car dashboard, kitchen window, work monitor, child's lunchbox, sympathy card.

    4. 4

      Read aloud

      Speaking Scripture engages a different part of the brain than silent reading. Read each card aloud, slowly.

    5. 5

      Give extras away

      Print two sets — one to keep and one to give. A handful of cards in a card or care package can be a profound gift.

    6. 6

      Pair with prayer

      Use each card as a prayer prompt. Talk to God about whatever the verse stirs up.
