Are You Finding It Hard Forgive? Read This. by iliyande(m): 6:37am On Apr 03, 2016 |
Lent is arguably the time when we weigh up the significance of our sin and forgiveness more than any other. As we Good Friday draws ever-closer, thoughts about sin and the forgiveness of sins are both paramount in the minds of Christians around the world. An understanding of the relationship between these two acts is vital if we are to truly comprehend Jesus's death on the cross and the meaning of his sacrifice. Just as God forgives us, so we are called to forgive others. It can be hard to forgive someone, especially if we've been really hurt by their actions or words but inspirational passages on forgiveness are a feature throughout the Bible. Meditating on these when we're called to accept an apology and genuinely forgive will help to remind us why forgiveness is such a significant part of our faith and encourage us to extend forgiveness to those who require it. The following verses provide an insight to how forgiveness in referred to in Scripture. Matthew 26:28 - This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. Luke 6:37 - Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. John 20:23 - If you forgive anyone's sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven. Acts 10:43 - All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name. Ephesians 1:7 - In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace. Ephesians 4:32 - Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. 19 Likes 1 Share |

How i learnt to forgive; God showed me how great my sins were right from the days i was a child,how i continously sinned against him,breaking his laws and even causing others to fall despite the fact that he already came to the world and died a shameful,painful and humiliating death on the cross of calvary for my me.Despite my unfaithfulness,he kept me alive,provided and loved me beyond words.If God can Love me so and forgave me,with all my great sins who am i not to love Him and also exert evert effort to love those who hurt me and pray for them and also forgiving them also?Am i better than them?have i not committed worse sins?But yet He loved me beyond words. 4 Likes |

It still baffles me how forgiveness is preached daily by Christians but can't extend the same forgiveness to Judas Iscariot who, by the way, helped mankind by handing the saviour over to be sacrificed thereby fast tracking the salvation of the world. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Luke 6:37 - Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. John 20:23 - If you forgive anyone's sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven. These two above just nail it...we all should know that if u don't forgive u won't be forgiven and if u condemn u will b condemn too...so simple but very hard for humans to follow.... |

i have discovered a very good drug. It is potent enough to cure us of most of the diseases ravaging us as a people. It is cheap and almost free. It is available , very easy to administer and without any side effects. It is a pain killer, energy booster, a fertility drug and a prevention against hypertension. It is a five-letter word, "sorry". When you apply it on people you offend, the pain goes away like magic. As a fertility drug, it revives relationships and make them active. When you say "sorry" to someone you have wronged, the hostility between you disappears, the confidence and trust in each other multiplies. As human beings we are not perfect; we offend each other, fail one another and even breach agreements, sometimes consciously and at other times, unconsciously. When these happen, our victims feel pains, strong enough to break their hearts. We only need to apply the magic balm of "sorry" to comfort them, sooth their wounds and ease their pains. We must not be afraid or pompous not to say "sorry". Using this drug means accepting responsibility for our wrongs, for our short comings, for our failures. It is an expression of remorse, a demonstration of a genuine desire to right our wrongs and do fairness and justice to those we have wronged. "Sorry" is an efficient cleanser that erases bad feelings of hatred, spite and antagonism. If all of us can use this drug, there will be no hatred but love. There will be no war but peace. There will be no destruction but construction and re~construction. Let me however be quick to say that this drug expires without notice. The moment it is not used genuinely, sincerely and with commitment, it crashes on the user and the consequences are usually more devastating than the original sickness . I am sorry for whatever I have done to puncture your feelings. I'm truly sorry from the bottom of my heart. Oh yes, I'm sorry 2 Likes |
