Lesson 5: Forgiveness: Our Sin Debt has been Paid by Jesus

Testimony

Timi writes, "Since taking the A United Front course, so many things have changed regarding my husband's and my journey to spiritual recovery. In the beginning, the only thing I could focus on was my husband's sin and the devastation and pain that I felt. My husband had disclosed sin struggles to me before; however, this time, it was much more involved than in times past. I knew this time we had to do something radically different, or else we would continue to live in this pattern of sin and pain.
With the knowledge I now had about how bad his sin had gotten over the past few years, I was desperate for healing but was having a hard time connecting with God. I felt that I just wanted God to take away the pain. It was too great to bear. Then one morning on my meditative walk, I had the realization that Jesus was with my husband when he chose to do the sinful things he did. Jesus was there in the moments of my husband's sin. With this realization, I was able to connect with God in a way that I hadn't connected before. I knew that God felt the exact pain that I was feeling. Even more so, God was also feeling pain from me as I had not been choosing to connect with Him in a long time. God was feeling unchosen and undesired because of my husband's sin and mine too.
At this point, I started the A United Front course, which has been so beneficial in my walk with God. It has helped me to focus on Jesus and my relationship with God and to realize that I wasn't connected to the power and grace of the cross. With the lessons, I was able to see past my hurt and see God waiting for me to connect with Him, waiting for me to be open, honest, and, most importantly, vulnerable with Him. I have learned to understand the pull of Satan and his lies that we unwittingly believe.
As my husband has continued in the Setting Captives Free purity courses, I have seen a miracle happen in front of me. My husband is connecting with God daily in a way that I have never seen from anyone. Seeing his experience is inspiring me to go deeper in my relationship with God, in a way that I never have before. This course has helped me to see my husband's sin through God's eyes and to love as Jesus loves. It has helped us have open and honest conversations as we share what we are learning in the lessons. These conversations are not always easy ones, but they are so healing as we both know that God is with us and will never leave us.
I always recommend this course to women who want help for their hearts and marriages affected by sexual sin. I feel that this course always directs people to the Bible and God, which is the only place we will find true healing."
