Forgiveness part 1

How do we forgive? If someone does wrong to us, do we want them to face justice for what they have done?

Are we willing to take justice from God for the wrongs we have done?

If we are willing to take justice from God for the wrongs we have done, than we are asking Him to give us the death sentence, for we all have sinned, and the wages of sin is death.

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" - Romans 3:23

"For the wages of sin is death..." - Romans 6:23 KJV

God in His mercy, does not want to give us the death we deserve. He wants to give us life, and He was willing to suffer and die in our place in order to give us life.

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." - Romans 6:23

Jesus gives us eternal life by the gospel. When we repent of our sins, and are baptized in Jesus name, our sins are remitted, and He promises us the gift of His Spirit.

"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." - Acts 2:38
