Forgiveness

The Prison

Forgiveness is the key that unlocks the door of resentment and the handcuffs of hate. It is a power that breaks the chains of bitterness and the shackles of selfishness.

Forgiveness is more than the remission of penalty; it should mean the restoration of a broken fellowship.

Pardon Granted

“The great gift of Easter is hope—hope which makes us have that confidence in God, in His ultimate triumph, and in His goodness and love, which nothing can shake.” —Author unknown

“If Easter says anything to us today, it says this: You can put truth in a grave, but it won’t stay there. You can nail it to a cross, bind it tightly in sheets, and shut it up in a tomb, but it will rise!” —Clarence W. Hall

Buried Hurts

It takes divine, supernatural grace to forgive and to let God heal us when we’ve been hurt.

But God can give us the grace not only to forgive, but also to forget

Grace

What makes Christianity different from all the other religions of the world?

The very heart of the gospel is the supreme truth that God accepts us with no conditions whatever when we put our trust in the atoning sacrifice of His incarnate Son.

Forgive One Another

Forgiveness is mercy, not justice. Forgiveness is never deserved, but when you give it to another, then God can forgive you. Forgiveness is choosing to leave things in His hands, to trust that He will bring justice, and to accept that all people do wrong.
