Forgiveness Allows Love to Roll-on!

When do we forgive? Who do we forgive? The new testament makes it clear in Matthew 6:14-15.
We must forgive all who trespass against you. No exception. We must pray for those who persecute us. This may takes a great deal of effort on our part but we must. We have no choice for we are disciples of Jesus.

There lies a fundamental difference between a person who selfishly trespassed against you and one who inadvertently trespassed against you. First you must forgive both. Again Christians are instructed to do so. However a person who deliberately committed (emphasis on deliberately ) an infraction against you is not working out from the New Testament. He or she is being governed by the reward and punishment system (blessing and curses). His/her willful act of disobedience against you requires that you forgive him but you must also be wise and remain vigilant towards the offender. Trust will need to be restored. During this period of trust-building you must not transgress the offender at anytime.You must love your enemies (Matth 5:43).

Now someone who is immerse in Divine Altruistic Love (agape) is working from his/her heart. It is still possible to offend someone but it was not intentional or malicious. You forgive such a person and the slate is clean. The relationship continues as it was before the offence.

Imagine walking down a busy street and a person deliberately bumps into you. You must forgive him and hold your peace but you will be careful walking by the offender the next time. Trust has to be restored. You dont hate him or curse him.You have forgiven the person. Now imagine the same incident takes place but the person who bumped into you did not intend to do so. He apologies and you forgive him and will probably never remember the incident.

If Jesus has forgiven us from everything we have done against Him, then we should forgive those who did wrong things about us, all the gossip, all the slander and all those nasty things we see give it all to Jesus. He will deal with everyone and save their soul. Forgive seventy times seven and Jesus will bless your life.

My convenant keeping God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob may you help me to forgive. I am finding it difficult, I was heart to the extend that my nephew wanted me to loose my job and be arrested for something which I have not done.

Collin, I had this question within me the whole day. My initial question is about one particular person who keeps offending you for no offence at all. You forgive that person but still finds another way of coming at you with all sorts of provocations.

Ixoniss, first of all forgive me for not answering promptly. My email on this site is disabled and I can't fix it. So I may miss a message or two from our brothers or sisters.
Forgiveness is a must as a Christian but forgiveness does not negate consequences when the transgressor's intent was deliberately harmful. So in your situation if this person deliberately offends you, you forgive him/her but you try to educate this person with love. Let this person know that their action is inappropriate. Be as wise as a serpent. You don't have to subject yourself to their negative action. You just can't hate him/her for it.
Keep Love rolling.
