Forgiveness
God demands it
It is not an option
Requires us to surrender ourselves
Our precious pride
Our right to be offended
Offending behavior is not excused
Forgiveness excuses the offender
Trusting in the Lord’s forgiveness
Is key to forgiving others
We keep on doing it
There are scars of remembrance
These just remind us of
Christ’s work at the cross
Our ability to forgive is part of
Our peace and healing
Unforgiveness causes a breach in His body
Unforgiveness is sinning against God
If we do not forgive
We are competing with the atonement
Christ has forgiven us freely
What right do we have to hold a grudge?
Who died for our sins?
