God's Forgiveness

[Bob Wille (Family)]

“Get along with each other, and forgive each other.
If someone does wrong to you,
forgive that person because the Lord forgave you.”
Colossians 3:13

I understand that forgiving someone who horribly wronged you is not easy,
especially if they are not even sorry for what they did.
But Jesus makes it clear that you have no real option.
You MUST forgive if you want God's forgiveness.

It was so important that Christ gave this same message as part of the model prayer as we talk with God every day.

You are sooo right! This same subject was addressed as a command to forgive others for what they've done to us.

God bless you, Bob;

I have a question for fellowship learning. Why do we read these beautiful and profound passages on forgiveness, but find it so hard to forgive?

I have dealt with unforgiveness in the lives of Christians and non-believers but I wanted to read your thoughts on this struggle.

We hope all is well with you and your family. Thank you, brother.

I will use this verse to respond to your question about how hard it is to forgive:
"Keep me from the sins of pride; don’t let them rule me. Then I can be pure and innocent of the greatest of sins.' Psalm 19:13 (NCV)
How many of us like to be wrong on anything? My guess is...very few. To me, that's the reason why
"it's so hard to forgive".
