Forgiveness

Forgiveness is the place where most people trip on. They can't seem to get victory over it. And this is the tool that Satan uses to keep Christians defeated. In Matthew 18, Peter asks Jesus how many times should we forgive when someone sins against us. And Jesus responded with an astounding answer, not just 7 times, but 70 times 7. That's just for 1 day!

God calls us to even pray for our enemies - now there's a hard pill to swallow!!! In Matthew 5:43-47 Jesus says, " 'You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor & hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemy & pray for those who persecute you, ...' " But you say, "You don't know what he/she did to me..." But do you realize that we were ALL once enemies to God & yet He laid down His life for us. With that perspective how can we stay in our unforgiveness?!
