Forgiveness is a challenging aspect of the Christian life, often met with fears about justice, denial of offense, vulnerability, and justification of unforgiveness. Many believe forgiving means letting offenders escape consequences, but Scripture reassures that God ensures justice. It’s also a misconception that forgiveness involves denying wrongs; rather, it acknowledges pain while prioritizing Christ’s sacrifice. Moreover, forgiveness does not equate to trust, allowing individuals to protect themselves while releasing bitterness. Ultimately, unforgiveness harms us, not the offender. Embracing forgiveness leads to peace and healing, reflecting Jesus’ example and demonstrating spiritual victory.
