The God Promises Forgiveness
Jesus Christ paid the ultimate price to purchase our forgiveness. He did it on the cross and through His blood we are freed from the punishment of our sins and become part of God’s spiritual family.
Forgiveness is one of the most important themes in the Bible. However, the topic can be a very difficult one for many Christians. In this article we’ll explore a few of the key biblical perspectives on forgiveness and how you can apply them in your own life.
1 John 1:9 – In the first chapter of his gospel, John describes an eternal God who came to earth in the form of a man. He calls this eternal One the Word, and it is his job to tell us about him.
The Word of God is a powerful tool in the fight against hatred and violence. It reminds us that we are all made in God’s image and likeness, therefore we must treat each other with respect, kindness and compassion.
We must remember that when people hurt us, it is often unintentional. We can’t stop the pain, but we can change the way we respond to it.
We should never minimize the gravity of an offense or pretend that it didn’t happen. If you want to be a Christian, you must learn to forgive. It is an essential element in your growth as a follower of Jesus and will determine your level of maturity.
