Send Me Questions on Attachment
We all need forgiveness. Forgiveness is a key factor in receiving the gift of salvation. Jesus forgives our sins when we repent from them and turn towards Him. Jesus forgave the most heinous of sins, including the past, present and future ones. The Bible says that "if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins" (1 John 1:9). But even though this is a hallmark of the Gospel, it is probably one of the most difficult for Christians to accept and practice.
On today's episode, Dr. Jichan Kim and I discuss the difficulties in accepting God's forgiveness as well as extending it to those who have hurt us deeply.
We also discuss the following topics:
- Do we need to forgive ourselves before we can accept God’s forgiveness, or are self-forgiveness and accepting God’s forgiveness separate concepts?
- What are the greatest barriers to self-forgiveness or accepting God’s forgiveness?
- How do we know we are forgiven by God?
- What is the measuring stick for know if we have forgiven others?
- Are there different stages of forgiveness?
- How do we distinguish between forgiveness and reconciliation, because these two principles are often conflated?
- What does “loving the person” who hurt us look like after we forgive them?
- What are the greatest barriers to forgiving others?
- Lastly, what does the Bible say about forgiveness?
