Topic:  Forgiveness

Forgiveness is the act of pardoning, that is, setting free from punishment or cancelling of debts. As we interact together, we are bound to offend one another. But when offences come, the Word of God enjoins the offended to forgive the offender (Matthew 18:21-35; Luke 7:47). Christ has left us a great example, even on the cross, He forgave His persecutors (Luke 23:34).

When someone offends us, we naturally feel pain. In a loving manner, however, let the offender know what he has done (Luke 17:3). If he acknowledges it and repents we are to forgive him there and then never hold the offence against him anymore.
