On the other
hand, we sometimes lose our appreciation for an item after we obtain it. Even
if it performs as we had hoped, after a while "the new wears off." It
becomes commonplace, and we begin to take it for granted.
In this study we
will consider a gift that all of us need, though we may not realize our need.
Or we may possess this gift but fail to appreciate it. Either way, our study
should help us to appreciate this gift more fully. This gift is the forgiveness
of sins.
