FORGIVENESS

 

FORGIVENESS

Are You afraid to ask forgiveness from someone? It´s very common, but You have to understand how crucial important it is to Yourself to ask forgiveness, if You have sinned or done wrong to someone.

Jesus died on the cross so that we would be able to ask forgiveness from Him to our sins. God left that example for us all to ask forgiveness from those, against whom we might have done wrong, too. As well as He did leave the example to forgive.

However, forgiving to "someone" does not mean that we should forgive those "actions" of those people who have done wrong for us. It means that we should really forgive those "persons", because Jesus is the one who forgives their sins, not us. We are authorized and obligated to forgive those persons as individuals, and move on. Their obligation is to ask forgiveness to their sins from Jesus.

There are many sins people don´t understand to ask to be forgiven by God. E.g. if You have sinned in Your mind, but not in physical, they are sins in the eyes of God who sees everything. This is very common in sexual side, that people think sinful about someone, even though they are e.g. married to someone else. It´s a sin according to God.

So You have to ask everything to be forgiven by God. Then, of course You have to contact those persons, against whom You might have done wrong, somehow. Ask help from Jesus to do that! He will guide You how and when You should do that, because many times people are afraid of the answer they might have when asking forgiveness.

Even though You might not have the answer wanted, You would do the right thing under God´s eyes, and You would be free!

And if that other person would not forgive You, You would know for sure, that the person is not going to enter Heavens, because God the Father has said in Holy Bible, that He will forgive to those who will forgive to all others, not to those who will not forgive. (Matt. 6:24)

Let´s walk in the footsteps of Jesus! Ask forgiveness and forgive! Faith is action! (James 2:14-26)

Let´s be sensitive to hear, and slow to talk and anger, just like Jesus! (James 1:19-25)

In forgiveness,

Elisabeth
