What Does the Bible Say About Forgiveness?
Key Scriptures and spiritual guidance on forgiveness
Η Βίβλος αναφέρεται σε πολλά μέρη για τη σημασία της συγχώρεσης και του πως ο Θεός μας παρακινεί να συγχωρούμε τους άλλους όπως και εμάς συγχωρεί. Η συγχώρεση είναι θεμελιώδης αξία στη χριστιανική πίστη, καθώς μας ενθαρρύνει να αφήνουμε πίσω την οργή και το μίσος και να αγαπάμε με τον τρόπο που αγαπά ο ίδιος ο Θεός.
