Fundamental Christian Attitudes: Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a crucial aspect of Christian character, as it reveals our resemblance to our Heavenly Father. The Bible teaches that forgiveness is a necessary component in the life of the church, and it is essential for our joy, peace, and usefulness. God's holiness makes his forgiveness all the more astonishing, and as his children, we are called to forgive others as God forgives us. Unforgiveness can lead to a fracturing of fellowship, a limiting of usefulness, and a robbing of joy and peace. On the other hand, forgiveness brings heaven to earth and heaven's peace into the sinful heart, making us more like God. [... more]

Seasonings for the Tongue

The authenticity of Christianity is directly related to one's tongue, with the use of profane language outside the church being a sign of a lack of growth in Christ. The Bible emphasizes the importance of controlling one's tongue, with James writing that if anyone considers himself truly religious and yet does not control his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless. The tongue has the power to make or break relationships, attract people to the truth of Christ, or repel them, and is a distinguishing characteristic of the believer. [... more]

The Bible provides guidance on the process of forgiveness, including the importance of repentance, the need to forgive freely and fully, and the benefits of forgiveness, including release, reconciliation, and revival.
