| FORGIVENESS |
FORGIVENESS FORGIVENESS is the means by which damaged relationships are restored. It is an act of the will, motivated by love. For Christians, Jesus’ death on the cross is the ultimate revelation of God’s forgiving love, and his sacrifice stands as a source of inspiration to forgive others, no matter what the cost. Forgiveness is fundamental to the character of God. Throughout the Bible, God is described as slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin. (Number 14:18) Jesus told his followers that they must forgive and keep on forgiving without limit. | |
