| | Forgiveness (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) :: Bible Tools |
| | The atonement of Christ is, however, of permanent adequacy, and became retroactive in the sense that it unified in Christ the Divine arrangement for saving mankind in all ages (Hebrews 11:40). | | | His answer to Peter that one should forgive not merely seven times in a day, but seventy times seven (Matthew 18:21-22), not only shows that He thought of no limit to one's forgiveness, but that the principle could not be reduced to a definite formula. | | | In the former passage there is mentioned a sin which has no forgiveness, and in the latter, one on behalf of which the apostle cannot enjoin prayer that it be forgiven, though he does not prohibit it. |

| | Practicing Our Faith: The Practices: Forgiveness |
| | Forgiveness involves us in a whole way of life that is shaped by an ever-deepening friendship with God and with other people. | | | The central goal of this practice is to reconcile, to restore communion - with God, with one another, and with the whole creation. | | | We need to unlearn those things that divide and destroy communion, and instead learn to live as forgiven and forgiving people. |

| | This is Christ's law of forgiveness as taught in the Gospels (Matthew 6:14, 15; 18:35; Mark 11:25). | | | When Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He made forgiveness the cornestone of their relationship with God. | | | So often when we are listening to sermons, in bible studies and prayer meetings, we hear that we must forgive those that have caused us pain. |

| | AKMA's Random Thoughts |
| | I once talked with a priest who assured me that he believed in forgiveness, but not in judgment; I was left at a loss to explain what the point of forgiveness might be if I wasn't going to held accountable for my life. | | | And we should note that God reaffirms an extreme response to evil in the New Testament--if mere "wailing and gnashing of teeth" (the Gospel of Matthew's favorite description of God's plan for evildoers) isn't severe enough, reread the Revelation to John. | | | So much, however, seems clear: We ought not cavalierly reckon that anyone (whether as fundamentally decent as "we" or as morally deficient as "they") will be covered by a blanket amnesty--that disregards both the self-reflective honesty I proposed earlier in the week and theological warnings from the God of the Judaic and Christian traditions. |

| | Please forgive me and pray for me, so that what I am preaching I could first of all somehow, be it only a little bit, integrate and incarnate in my life. | | | The first thing I am asking all of you, my spiritual family, is to forgive me. Imagine how many temptations of laziness, of avoiding too much, and so on and so forth. | | | But the NOW of that, I repeat it once more, is to be horrified by the fragmentation of our own existence, by the pettiness in our relationships, by the destruction of words, and by the abandoning of this reverence. |
