How Does Forgiveness Work?
|
God doesn't forgive the sin, He forgives the sinner, and then HE separates the sin from the person. People are trying to forgive the act, not the sinner. Unforgiveness is a poison we drink, hoping the person who hurt us will get sick. We know it doesn't hurt the other person, they can't be affected by what we drink. Toxic shock will set in, and we will die a very slow painful death. Michael Hinson, shared this today on a Christian show. It is powerful, and I felt it warranted sharing. The LORD gives the example of how to forgive the sinner. "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." LUKE 23v34 KJV* "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." Father, help us to forgive; teach to forgive; show us who to forgive; in Jesus/Yeshua's name. AMEN.

Wonderful post! Thank you for this! The importance of forgiveness and living consecrated and set apart should not be underestimated! Much love to you, Sister.  Romans 14 verse 5 One person regards one day holier than other days, and another regards them all alike. 3 Each must be fully convinced in his own mind.

I believe that's a great example of how we can forgive a sinner without endorsing the sin. For me, boundaries are very important, especially when forgiving someone while they are yet in the act of sinning.

AT THE VERY INSTANCE CHRIST DIED ON THE CROSS.WE WERE GIVEN A BLANKET.THAT COVERD SIN FOR THE REST OF ANY CRISTANS EARTHLY LIFE. A BLANKET OF BLOOD.AND THOUGH THAT BLOOD THE POWER OF SIN WAS DEFEETED.NOT SIN ITSELF.WE STILL SIN TODAY BECAUSE WE LIVE IN A CARNEL WORLD.BUT BECAUSE OF THE SHED BLOOD OF CHRIST.IT CANT KEEP US FROM OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN.SO WE HAVE ALREADY BEAN FORGIVEN FOR ALL SINS PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE BY GOD WHO GAVE HIS SON.WE ASK FOR FORGIVENESS ANY WAY NOT BECAUSE IT HAS ANY AFFECT EXCEPT TO SHOW OUR GREAT LOVE FOR GOD.A TRUE BORN AGAIN BELIEVER IN GOD WILL WANT TO ASK FORGIVENESS WHEN HE SINS,NOT BECAUSE IT WILL CHANGE ANY THING BUT JUST BECAUSE HE OR SHE LOVES GOD.THE PROBLEM ISNT FORGIVENESS FROM GOD.ITS FORGIVENESS FROM EACH OTHER.

Hiz4ever, It was my sins that put Jesus on the whipping post, 39 lashes he took for me, but not just 39 lashes. The weapon of choice for the Romans in those days was a cat of nine tails, a handle with nine leather straps coming from it and with a barb woven into the tips of the leather so as to catch and rip the skin. that is 39 lashes with 9 straps for a total of 351 total lashes...for my sins. Then He forgave me of my sins, and when He asked the Father to forgive them for they know not what they do, He showed us by example of what the next step is when we forgive someone. We are to forgive them and ask God not to hold it against them either. What a wonderful savior and friend we have in Jesus. God Bless You Mike

Beloved Commenters, Thank you for reading. I am glad that we have the opportunity to forgive. Unforgiveness is a burden we aren't meant to carry. Thank You Saviour, Jesus/Yeshua, that we can cast this care upon You and be free of this weight of sin.AMEN. With Great Love, Hiz4Ever † Vincit Veritas~Truth Conquers

Thank you. Yes, we are to forgive as Jesus forgives. "God doesn't forgive the sin, He forgives the sinner, and then HE separates the sin from the person." Amen! Elizabeth

actually he has a nice concept but he is wrong because the word says he forgave the sin of the world. It is all forgiven, past present and future from the moment Jesus was ressurected. To receive it you have to believe it. Mans concepts are much different and applied much differently than God's The liberating Power is in the forgiveness itself. The reason God forgave us was to bring fellowship between He and us. His concept and writing is noble but it is not really sound.

The reason God forgave us was to bring fellowship between He and us. His concept and writing is noble but it is not really sound. it's not already forgiven, where do you get that notion from? we don't have to believe it we have to ask for it, we have to repent from it. its so obvious by the scripture alone. without the doctrines of a church backing it. sure he accomplished on the cross all that is needed so that we may be forgiven, but its not a matter of belief, its a matter of asking for it, what you gonna sin and be automatically forgiven for sins? you are responsible for your actions, without repentance it doesn't matter what you believe cause you are damend without repentance. i think you're the one with the noble concept and writing that's not sound  BAPTISM SAVES
