Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a huge subject and certainly one in which the Bible is not silent. In the Bible we can read about our amazing and loving Heavenly Father who forgives us of all trespasses. God calls sinners to seek Him and promises them forgiveness. It is because of His great mercy and grace that God rescues the believer from the dominion of darkness that began way back in the Garden.

Jesus extends a loving invitation for forgiveness of sins which is only possible through His shed blood. He gave His life so that we may live. We are forgiven because He was forsaken – That is amazing love!
Being able to forgive someone is an important part of Christianity. Christian forgiveness is unique - we should be able to forget those who "trespass against us," just like the Lord's Prayer tells us. It should be in every Christian's nature to forgive those who wronged them - but as much as we would like this to be true, it is hard to do.

Christ died on the cross so that our sins would be forgiven, yet he asked His Father to forgive his tormentors. We should remember this even during day to day situations. If our brother or sister has hurt us, it is important to remember how to forgive. It's never easy, but it is also worth it.

It is very important to always be willing to forgive, and the Bible teaches us the best ways to handle it. Learn how to forgive with these Bible verses about forgiveness. It may not be easy and it may not be fair... but these Bible verses on forgiveness will help you find a better way to live.

Forgiveness is hard work. And while we need to seek it and give it, we need God’s grace to humble us to the point that we realize we are nothing without Jesus and we’ll fail without his help.
