FORGIVENESS

  •  

    In the bible it is asked, how many times must a man must forgive his neighbor?

    But why should we forgive?

    Why should we forgive those that hurt, lie, cheat and abuse us, those that don’t care nothing about our feelings and emotions, those individuals, people and organizations that would curse the very ground we walk on if they could?

    Why, please tell me why we should forgive when our human nature tells us not to?

    Why? Because the one who created us told us to!

    Forgiveness makes that person who has done us wrong, transgressed against us righteous.

     Forgiveness frees or releases our nemeses from the punishment associated with the crimes committed against us, the arduous act of forgiveness makes our enemies righteous.

    Forgiveness is the true unconditional act of love

    This is how our Creator wants us to love one another, then only then will we understand our Designer’s love for us the fact that when we were dead in our sins and transgression GOD, The Intelligent Design, Mother/Father of Creation gave us the gift of forgiveness.

    Acts 13:38
    “Therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you
