Four Lessons for Forgiveness
One evening, my husband and I had a family bible time with our teenage sons. One of my sons, Jed shared his favorite bible verse - Acts 13:38-39:
“Therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Through him everyone who believes is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses."
Jed explained that we can forgive others if they sin against us. however, God would be appreciated. If we do not forgive others, God would not forgive us. That's very good example.
So we need to forgive others whether other people hurt us or not. If we hurt others in some ways, we need to ask for forgiveness. Asking for forgiveness is very vital to all of us, because God wants to see us forgiving each other peacefully and humbly before He forgives us. The Lord is looking out for you whether you are forgiving others or not.
Let's get to know about four lessons for forgiveness.
1. Forgiveness is very hard. Well, it is not so easy. You know, accepting forgiveness from others is very important because when you accept someone's forgiveness, you will be happy. If you do not accept someone's forgiveness, then you will not feel peace inside your body and soul emotionally and spiritually. Asking for forgiveness is not simple, too. When you face someone that you hurt, you realize that you have have done wrong. You ask for forgiveness, someone will accept yours lightly and calmly. You will feel happy when you are free by keeping up your own bitterness and madness. Please know that God is with you.
"I have broken the bands of your yoke and made you walk upright" - Leviticus 26:13
2. Forgiveness is the key to make peace in your life. Have you been feeling struggling with your life? How about your relationships with other people? I believe that you may need to ask for forgiveness and that you will feel peace. But, if you do not forgive others (or you ask for forgiveness), you will not able to make peace in your life. The Lord wants to see you forgiving others as well as people forgive you, all past things will go away, you will be ok.
"Good Words to Remember: The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" - Psalm 27:1
3. Forgiveness never be cheaper. Remember that the Lord is very satisfied with your forgiving action, He will forgive you. He knows what you have done in your past and present times. No matter how He can see you any day, any where, any time, and any how that happen, you know that forgiveness is not so cheaper. The Lord loves you, He is very forgiving person.
"Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?" - Matt. 18:33
4. Forgiveness set you free. When you forgive others, people forgive you. You will be free from sins. You will feel peace and joyful. You can feel to love yourself, other people, and the Lord. You can feel alive to be free when you are forgiven. Jesus Christ loves you because He knows your pains but He is here to help and empower you to freely forgive.
"Let the power of my Lord be great, just as You have spoken, saying, 'The Lord is longsuffering and abundant in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression.'" - Numbers 14:17,18
The four lessons for forgiveness are the key to set your spiritual action and freedom. Letting go of the past provides us the freedom to live our lives in the present. The Lord understands what you deal with your old past but, He loves you very much. He is glorified to be with you, you know He forgives you always. It's okay to ask the Lord for forgiveness and ask Him to help you moving on and seek forgiveness and make peace with other people.
