Forgiven? Forgive! Whetstone Assembly of God

Forgiven….now it is time to forgive. You cannot forgive others until you have forgiven yourself. When you extend forgiveness to someone it should be a release of guilt and a restorative practice. God restores us to favor and remembers it no more. We should act like Him! ( 1 John 1:9)  Walk by faith and not by sight and you might not even feel forgiven but if you ask according to the Word of God He will do what His Word says.  Mark 11:22-25 tells us it is necessary to walk in forgiveness in order for our faith to work.  The definition of forgiveness is:  not as the cliche, “I’ll forgive but I will never forget!” But rather there are two parts to forgiveness…..my accountability and their response…release and remember no more (even if they don’t receive your offer).
