THE VIRTUE OF FORGIVENESS
Forgiveness is to pardon the wrongs done against us or to seek pardon for wrongs that we have done to another.
When the apostles asked Jesus to teach them how to pray, he included these words.
Forgive us our trespasses (sins) as we forgive those who trespass (sin) against us.
Ask to be forgiven, to forgive others, and to forgive yourself because peace cannot exist without forgiveness.
Search the Bible to find the many times when Jesus forgave others.
Read the Parable of the Lost Son
Luke 15:11 - 32
Jesus forgave his murderers when he hung dying on the cross when he said,
“Father, forgive them: They don’t know what they are doing.”
Forgiveness Gives You Freedom, Joy And Peace.
Without it, Revenge, Anger and Bitterness.
