According to
a study by the Mayo Clinic holding a grudge appears to affect the
cardiovascular and nervous systems. In one study, people who focused on a
personal grudge had elevated blood pressure and heart rates, as well as
increased muscle tension and feelings of being less in control.(1) Holding a grudge is refusing to forgive.
WHAT IS
FORGIVENESS ?
WHY IS
FORGIVENESS IMPORTANT ?
WHO NEEDS
FORGIVENESS ?
FORGIVENESS
- The pardon of an offender, by which he is considered and treated as not
guilty.
And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and
Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy, Son be of good
cheer thy sins be forgiven thee.
The
forgiveness of God is sweeter to the believing sinner than a thousand unfading, fragrant roses growing in a field of scented lilies and lilacs. Nothing is more precious or more liberating
or inspiring than the forgiveness in the love of God, Forgiveness among human beings is
unlike the forgiveness of God which is powerful enough to transform a person's
character. The Bible refers specifically to forgiveness 7 times in verses about sin, salvation and the Savior.
Here are
four Bible facts about forgiveness that we will consider and explore:
1. Forgiveness can relieve suffering of the mind and suffering of the body
2. Human
beings need forgiveness because human beings offend each other
3. Human
beings need forgiveness because human beings offend God
4. Any sin
can be forgiven by God except the sin that a person does not repent of.
REFERENCE:
Please, I entreat you reader and beloved of God, if you have
not done so already or if you have backslidden toward the world and are now
worldly surrender
your heart to God while there is still time; surrender your thoughts and
feelings to Jesus Christ the one who loves you and died in order for you and I
to be able to obtain victory over all sin and selfishness in our lives...God
loves you..God wants you...Not just to feel forgiven...Not to play church, but to
truly become Christ-like before you die so that you can be prepared to enjoy
eternity with Him and the countless redeemed of all ages.
A Christlike person is the only kind of person that could
enjoy heaven and the only kind of person that could be trusted in heaven.
Pray like
this - Father in heaven, I am a sinner and I believe that Jesus Christ died on
the cross to pay the penalty for my sins. I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and
Savior right now and I ask you to give me a new heart. New motives, new desires
and new purposes that will be in harmony with your law of 10 commandments. I
thank you and praise you for the forgiveness of my sins and for causing me to
be born again right now,
In Jesus, name, amen.
