The God Who Forgives

God forgives our many sins-- Psalm 65:3 (TEV) Our faults defeat us, but you forgive them.

God forgives us because he loves us--  Psalm 86:5 (NIV) You are forgiving and good, O Lord, abounding in love to all who call to you.

Freely forgive others as God has forgiven you-- Colossians 3:13 (NIV) Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

God will forgive our sins if we confess them-- 1 John 1:8 (NIV) If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

You must choose to forgive whoever has wronged you. Forgiveness is not an emotion, it is a decision of the will.  Erwin W. Lutzer (1941- )
