Having a relationship with God implies that He has forgiven you all wrongs, as they were nailed to the cross when Jesus Christ His Son died. Forgiveness is central to Christianity, and it is at Christ expense. He paid for our reconciliation with God through the agony of the cross. So, what should be our response when other people offend us or grieve us through their conduct?
I must confess that forgiving others their infractions is not easy. I have been there. The great thing is that God does not command us to do things that our flesh can accomplish. That is why He sent us His Spirit to empower us to do His will.
If you truly want to forgive others but lack the strength to do so, confess your inability to God and ask Him for help, so that you can do it in the power of His Spirit. I have experienced this kind of victory over the spirit of unforgiveness.
You too can forgive others without stress if you learn to yield to the leading of the Holy Spirit in this area. We have carefully selected quotes on forgiveness that amplify what we have said here. We pray that they would minister to you and help you to live a life that glorifies God in your interaction and engagements with other people.
