Passage: Luke 7:47* Therefore, I tell you, [the sinful woman’s] many sins have been forgiven — for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little." Questions 1. How does Jesus connect sin, forgiveness and love?   2. How can this connection apply to your situation?   Practical help If you’re reading this, chances are you struggle to some degree with pornography. Welcome to the club. But if your thinking goes no further than "I’m a sinner in need of help," you will miss a benefit of brokenness: love. As Jesus tells the dinner guests in this passage, knowledge of your weakened state should make you grateful for God's forgiveness — and loving. The next time you’re tempted to castigate another person, remember your own failures. And show compassion. That’s the only good thing you’ll ever get from pornography. eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 1998 by eXXit *Scriptures are from The Holy Bible: New International Version, © copyright 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society.
