Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.

Colossians 3:12-15

Summary

For day three of our Acclimate journey toward Passion 2025, the word we’re focusing on is “forgiven.”

The beauty of the Gospel is that though we were slaves to sin and destined for eternal separation from God, He sent His Son, Jesus, who knew no sin, to take our place, die on the cross, and rise again to life on the third day. Now we are forgiven and free—our debt has been paid. Nothing we could ever do will make us deserve this forgiveness. This gift was given to us only through Jesus's sacrifice; all we have to do is receive it.

You have been forgiven. Let that sink in. No matter what you've done, if you are in Christ, God sees the righteousness of his son Jesus when He looks at you.

So, as we step into Passion 2025, don't let the enemy try to tell you who you are by reminding you of what you've done wrong. Remember who you are. You are a son or a daughter of the most high God. Your sins have been washed away. When we step into that true identity, we begin to bear fruit of love, compassion, kindness, and joy, and as we understand that we have been so greatly forgiven, we will find it easier to forgive others.

Prayer:

God, thank You so much for sending Your Son to take on our sin and shame, leading us to be forgiven, free, loved, and chosen. We are amazed by You. We love You and are grateful for what You will do as we step into Passion 2025. So come and have Your way. Remind us of who we are. Help us to forgive those who have wronged us because You have forgiven us forever. We love You. Thank You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Scripture References

16For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.

17He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

18And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.

23Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.

24And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds,

25not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

12Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

13Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

14And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

15Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.

2I have seen you in the sanctuary

and beheld your power and your glory.

3Because your love is better than life,

my lips will glorify you.

4I will praise you as long as I live,

and in your name I will lift up my hands.

1In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple.

2Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.

3And they were calling to one another:

“Holy, holy, holy is the

Lord

Almighty;

the whole earth is full of his glory.”

20Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,

21to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

40Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him.

Passion Conferences

Rooted in the confession of Isaiah 26:8, Passion exists to glorify God by uniting students in worship, prayer and justice for spiritual awakening in this generation. Since the first gathering in 1997, Passion has had the privilege of encountering millions of students and 18-25 year olds, a sea of young people whose lives have been transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit. Their voice is getting louder as they rise, united as a generation, bringing hope and light to the world.
