Why Forgiveness Matters

DAY 5 OF 8

They Don’t Deserve It

We are all tempted to view life through the scales of justice. As we weigh out others' sins, failures, offenses, hurts, and mistakes, we make forgiveness all about them and have trouble forgiving. Forgiveness is an act of grace that we give, and by giving it, we find freedom.

Here are some highlights from today’s video:

  • Forgiveness isn’t earned, it's granted.
  • Doing good deeds doesn’t undo wrong deeds.
  • We receive forgiveness by grace, and we give forgiveness by grace.

About this Plan

Why Forgiveness Matters

Forgiveness is central to the Christian life, but often hard to give. This 8-day devotional explores why we should forgive, what happens if we don't, and how to begin the process. With Jesus as our model, we'll look at practical steps, biblical truths, and the freedom found in forgiving others and ourselves. Forgiveness isn't easy, but it is possible, and it's the path to healing, peace, freedom, & new life in Christ.
