We’ve looked at forgiveness from various angles in two of our recent episodes. This Questions Of Faith episode is going to consider that powerful emotional action step with the addition of a faith perspective. The question is, how does biblical teaching impact our understanding and application of forgiveness? Brian offers 4 considerations:
-There is the added relationship with God
-Forgiveness includes bearing the burden of the hurt caused by the other person
-My forgiveness of others is linked to my experience of God's forgiveness
-Is there benefit to the offender brought about by my forgiving them?
