Forgiving One Another
“I’m sorry.” “I forgive you.” These can be some of the hardest words to say. But the Christian believer is commanded to forgive. This booklet delves into the biblical topic of forgiving one another. What is forgiveness? What is a root of bitterness? And when are we supposed to forgive a brother or sister in Christ?
According to the Scriptures, we are to forgive as we have been forgiven in Christ. That is a tall order! But God’s Word instructs us how to forgive, when to forgive, and whom to forgive.
This booklet opens with a definition of forgiveness, for if we don’t know what forgiveness entails, we may be hesitant to forgive. For instance, is forgiveness the same as acceptance? Is it the same as forgetting the offence?
Next, we study the topic of the Christian’s forgiveness in Christ, and its all encompassing ramifications. We look at what the “record of debt” means and how it relates to the topic of forgiveness. And we also delve into a study of the root of bitterness, which may occur if one fails to forgive.
The booklet closes with a discussion of how it is God’s very nature to forgive.
At the back is an appendix that answers commonly asked questions about forgiveness: Is forgiveness the same as trust? How do I know if a brother is really sorry? How do I forgive myself?
These and other questions are answered in this booklet. (8.5” x 5.25”, 45 pages)
