Forgiven and Forgiving - Part Two

Until we have an accurate view of the forgiveness we have received from God, we will find it difficult to forgive others. As we grow in our understanding of our own sin and Christ’s salvation, however, forgiveness becomes second nature. In this sermon from Luke 11, Alistair Begg explains that forgiveness isn’t a feeling, but a promise to forget the wrongs we’ve experienced. While there are always consequences for sin, those who are loving and wise will seek reconciliation.

Thank you for this wonderful teaching.

So do we forgive those that not only have harmed us, they know they have, they are glad about it, and in fact many times are laughing about the fact that they harmed you. These people have no repentance and are happy about their wickedness. Clearly, holding on to the offense will never help you. But, these people are dangerous and will harm the injured party again if the injured party reconciles without the victimizer repenting.
