Forgiveness

Did you ever know someone who could not forgive? This is a deal breaker for a Christian in their relationship with God. This is because the relationship of a Christian to God is founded on God’s willingness to forgive their sins.

When a Christian decides that they will not forgive someone who is asking for forgiveness, here is in fact what they are expressing:

“Yes, I know that God forgave my sins, but the sins of this person against me are much harder for me to forgive than was my sins for God.” Thus, THEY ARE PLAINLY STATING THAT THEIR HOLINESS IS GREATER THAN GOD’S, HENCE THE SIN MORE EGREGIOUS AND THUS IMPOSSIBLE TO FORGIVE.

Is that what you want to express to God and the world? If you have refused forgiveness to a repentant and contrite offender who has asked for it, you have in fact made yourself God.
Nice going . . . . .
