Chad: Thanks, it's Faith Time
our weekly
conversation on Matters of
Faith. Joining me this
morning is
Pastor Charles Brown with
Government Street Baptist
Church.
thanks for joining us this
morning. Guest: Good morning
Chad: We wanted to talk about
forgiveness this
morning. How do you define it?
Guest: Response Forgiveness
is the ability to
let things such as conflicts of
any kind go, so they do
not change you or define your
life, causing it to be
what you are not., etc...
Chad: Why is it hard to forgive
sometimes?
Guest: response Because
forgiveness is a
move of grace, which means you
will do more to
forgive than you would for
anything else in your
life.... To be able to make a
decision to release
feelings of resentment or
vengeance toward another
individual, no matter what the
circumstances are.
Chad: How does one balance the
desire for
Chad: How does one balance the
desire for justice and the call
to forgive?
Guest: response There has
to be an understanding
what part anger may be playing,
and why one
cannot or will not allow himself
to come to a place
of forgiveness. God is a just
God, also a forgiving
God, and His Word teaches us to
live by that same
principle in associations with
our fellow men. There
is payment for the wrong that we
do, as well as
reward for the good that we do.
It means that non-
forgiveness, motivated by anger
must be dealt with
quickly in
Chad: What are parts of the
Bible that deal with
approaches to forgiveness?
Guest: response Biblical
teaching deals with
pardoning those who are our
offenders. Much of
God's Word speaks to forgiving
those who offend
us. Jesus speaks of "turning
the other cheek
when someone offends or
mistreats us".
Chad: Why is it hard to let go
of a grudge? Guest: response
We as humans sometimes allow
grudges to possess us. When
holding a grudge, we
are not expressing forgiveness,
and it affects
much of our lives as we live day
to day.
Chad: Why do people sometimes
refuse to
forgive themselves?
Guest: response We do not
acknowledge that
