Forgiving



Forgiveness - well this is now an interesting topic and lets face it - one of the most difficult things to do is to forgive someone for hurt caused upon oneself.

What is very important with the word "forgive" is that when we are hurt by someone and we do not forgive that person we enslave ourselves to that individual.

The quicker we forgive the quicker we forget and the quicker our lives return to normal.

God tells us that we can only get forgiveness from Him if we are able to forgive others. (Matthew 6:14-15)

So when we do wrong how does God forgive us ?

Matthew 26:28 - "This is my blood, which seals the covenant between God and his people. It is poured out to forgive the sins of many." - Jesus died so that Gods forgiveness is freely available for us.

Acts 10:43 - "Everyone who believes in him will have their sins forgiven through his name."

Through Jesus we have forgiveness
