Forgiveness Like God Does

Christ - grants forgiveness immediately, and so we should do the same.  Jesus came to seek the sick, not the healthy.  He came to forgive sinners for their inexcusable sins.  He was looking to extend forgiveness, not looking to see if He could find it in His heart to forgive.  “even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.” 

Christ forgives our sins fully and completely, no matter how wicked the sin was.  Trespasses against us are always much smaller in ratio than our trespasses against the infinite, perfect, holy God of heaven.  “even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.”

Christ does not put us in a state of probation or purgatory.  Christ does not put us in a period of testing to see if we really mean it.  He restores us each time we confess our sins to full fellowship with Him.  “even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.”

Christ does not stop forgiving us, even when we sin again and again.  How many times have you been forgiven for the same sin?  “even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.”
