Quotes on Forgiveness

It is a wonderful thing to both give and receive forgiveness. It is also a necessary ingredient for us to live a life full of power and grace. Grace in the sense that the measure of forgiveness we extend to others will be extended back to us. Because of this, we must learn how to both give and receive this treasure. 

Forgiveness is not only important in human terms but forgiveness is  a great part of the teachings of God. It was the key ingredient in the Gospel as Jesus taught over and over to forgive one another. The Bible says;

“For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.” – Matthew 6:14

This scripture tells of the importance of forgiveness not only for others but for our own wellbeing. When we forgive others this blessing finds overflow in our lives.
