Forgiveness is a decision you make to refuse to live in the past. It’s a conscious choice to relate others from their sins against you, so that you can be set free. It doesn’t deny the pain or change the past, but it does break the bitterness that holds you to the wounds of the past. Forgiveness allows you to let go and move on. You offer this forgiveness freely because God has forgiven you freely.
Main Points:
1. Our forgiveness of others is a response to the forgiveness we have received. If God can forgive me, he can enable me to forgive others.
2. As Christians, we must see that the grace that offers us God’s forgiveness, enables us to forgive others when they sin against us.
3. Christianity is a religion of forgiveness and healing. It is about God’s forgiveness of us, and our forgiveness of others. Both types of forgiveness are miracles and examples of how Jesus changes lives.
