What does God’s Word say about Forgiveness – when do we forgive, why do we forgive, and how do we forgive? We will tackle some misunderstandings and wrong thinking about forgiveness. With all my heart, I believe Forgiveness is the key to Freedom. I also believe that a key indicator of maturity in your Christian walk is a willingness to obey God’s command to forgive.
Mark 11:25 is challenging: “And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in Heaven may forgive you your sins.” Yet as we obey that command, we will taste God’s power. Forgiveness does not make sense—but neither does marching around Jericho 7 times and shouting! As the Israelites obeyed, the enemy’s walls came down. And as you forgive, you will see God’s power work in wonderful ways.
