Forgiveness Scripture

Biblical Scriptures pertaining to forgiveness

Forgiveness Scripture

Pain and disappointment are a part of life, but when another person intentionally inflicts pain, it seems to cause irreparable damage.

After we are hurt and betrayed, forgiveness is sometimes the last thing on our minds.

Why should we forgive people who deliberately cause us pain?

Because forgiveness begins the healing process. When we forgive, we allow God's healing power to rid us of deadly infections like hatred and anger.

Forgiveness is not for the person who caused the pain.

Forgiveness is a gift from God to heal the person who was hurt.

God Bless!
