Forgiveness

The definition of foregiveness is –noun
1. act of forgiving; state of being forgiven.
2. disposition or willingness to forgive. 3. The act of forgiving; pardon.
4. compassionate feelings that support a willingness to forgive
5. the act of excusing a mistake or offense

In the Bible there are verses that talk about forgiveness.
Acts 5:31 "Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins."


Acts 13:38 "Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:"


Ephesians 1:7 "In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;"


Colossians 1:14 "In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:"

God will give any of us forgiveness if we will just believe in Him and that he has died for us. But God is not the only one that forgives. We all need to forgive people around us. No matter what somebody has done to you they deserve forgiveness. If we are not able to forgive people how are we suppose to expect God to forgive us. One of the hardest person to forgive is ourselves. And until we can forgive ourselves we will not be able to truly forgive others.
