“6-To the praise of the glory of his
grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7- In whom we have
redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches
of his grace;” (Ephesians 1:6- 7 KJV)
The Lord by His grace opened the door of
forgiveness to everyone including the chief among sinners like the Apostle
Paul. God forgave Moses when he killed an Egyptian. God forgave King David when
he committed adultery on Bathsheba and killed Uriah to cover up his sins. (II
Samuel 11:1- 27) He forgave Peter after he denied Jesus three times, and God
will forgive you too if you will ask for His forgiveness. Be it a weakness, a
moral issue or bad habits, God’s blood can cleanse you of any sin or sins. The
Bible says; “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold
the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” (John 1:29 KJV)
We must also be considerate by forgiving
others. We can forgive others when they cut us off on the road, at the store or
during our conversation with others, etc. I don’t have the answer for this, but
I believe this is true. It’s easier to asked for forgiveness to God than saying
“I’m sorry” to a friend or love ones. But the most important thing is we
exercise on what we stand for when we learn to be forgiving. Forgiving others
is a show or fruit of humility within you. (Philippians 2:3- 9) Apostle Paul
admonished us and he lovingly urged us to be forgiving. He wrote; “32- And be
ye kind one to another, tenderhearted,
forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.” (Ephesians
4:32 KJV)
