Forgiveness

Forgiveness is simple. It is often only thought over for moments because of how simple it really is. It deserves a thorough examination, however, because while forgiveness may be a simple concept it is also a difficult thing to understand. It is essential for faith, for all must be forgiven. Jesus died so we could be forgiven. If we don’t understand this we don’t understand anything.

We have been forgiven, and we must forgive. We are saved by grace, and should offer out grace. Sometimes it’s easy to forgive ourselves. Sometimes it’s not. Sometimes it’s easy to forgive others. Sometimes it’s not. Forgiveness brings about freedom. Refusing to forgive only keeps the one who refuses in prison chains.

There are many verses on forgiveness, and much to write about it. It is an important topic, and I may discuss it for a while. I’ll use scripture a lot. I’ll write a lot. Be ready. I want everyone to understand all there is to know about forgiveness, and I’ll use this to try and teach everything I understand. Some of this stuff will not be easy to hear, but it needs to be said. If you are suffering because of the evil acts of others you need to understand forgiveness. If you’ve fallen in some way, hurt someone, betrayed someone, made a mistake, or turned from God and think it makes you too depraved to be useful to the Lord you need to know about forgiveness. If you are holding grudges you need to understand forgiveness.

Forgiveness is needed. Forgiveness is essential. I’ll write all I can about it, and hope you read. Be ready.
