Today we are looking at one of the most "painful" activities in believers' lives - forgiveness. Forgiveness is based on the belief that God has forgiven our sins through faith in the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ (1 John 2:2), and therefore, we should now forgive others. Yet, admittedly, it is a difficult task. It is much easier to receive forgiveness than to grant forgiveness to someone who has wronged you.
