Why and How Do I Forgive?

Why and How Do I Forgive?

Author: Church in the Valley January 25, 2026 Duration: 37:26
The forgiveness of sins is at the heart of the gospel of Jesus Christ and biblical community. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." God sent his only son to die on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins. He forgave us when we didn't deserve it. And that should fuel God's people to be a people that forgive one another freely. We don't forgive people because they deserve it. We forgive people out of a deep gratitude for how much God has forgiven us.
