RE: A SINCERE FORGIVENESS

in #sc-v5 years ago

To forgive means to excuse someone who has offended us or not to consider their fault. In the Bible, the Greek word translated "forgive" literally means "to let in," as when a person stops demanding that he be paid a debt. Jesus used this comparison in teaching his disciples to pray: "Forgive us our sins, because we ourselves also forgive everyone who owes us" (Luke 11: 4). Similarly, in the parable of the slave who showed no mercy, Jesus explained that forgiveness is like the cancellation of a debt (Matthew 18: 23-35).
