Healing through grace
Forgiveness is at the heart of the Gospel—God forgave us an impossible debt through Christ. As recipients of such grace, we are called to extend forgiveness to others. While not always easy, forgiveness frees us from bitterness and opens the door to healing. These verses illuminate the power and beauty of both receiving and extending forgiveness.
