Significance of Forgiveness?
Humans can't avoid offending others and be offended by others in our day-to-day interactions. And while we cannot control how others feel or act when offended, we have the free will to decide how we will react when we are offended by others. So today, we will see what forgiveness is. Forgiving others is the secret to happy and prolonged relationships in all facets of life: in the family, at work, at school, in Church, and in the community. It's not easy to forgive others who have hurt us, but this is exactly what Jesus commands us to do. Even if the other person is not sorry, we must forgive them sincerely, obeying God's will.
We must first explore what forgiveness is not to be able to comprehend what forgiveness is. The following are the significance of forgiveness.
·Forgiveness does not justify the offender. Ephesians 4:32
·Forgiveness is not approving the wrong done. It is overlooking it out of love. Luke 17:3
·Forgiveness does not prevent correction or rebuke.
·Forgiveness does not require us to be silent about injustice, improper conduct or evil deeds. Instead, we can correct, rebuke or discipline the offenders while still loving them.
·Forgiveness does not harbor bitterness. The offenses may produce pain or hurt, but there is no true forgiveness if any bitterness is harbored against the offender.
·Forgiveness is an opportunity for self-examination.
·Forgiveness is a chance to evaluate our own lives. Whenever we find it difficult to forgive others, we should consider the wrongs for which God so graciously forgives us. Colossians 3:13
·Forgiveness is a process of handing over to God. Matthew 6:14
·Forgiveness is an act in which we forfeit the right to hold another person responsible for the wrongs they have done to us. Instead, we hand it over to God. It means releasing that person from any obligation to make things right to us, only to God. Matthew 6:12-15
Everyone should be careful what they do to others. However, the fact that we receive forgiveness from men does not mean that God will not judge us for our actions. God forgives our sins and commands us always to forgive those who offend us. Colossians 3:13
