What is Forgiveness?

What is forgiveness? Is God letting go of a grievance held against us? Or is it possible that our general understanding of forgiveness is flawed? 

God gave us all before the foundation of the world, as a free gift, giving away all that He had and possessed.

Radical Liberty = Spiritual Victory

(John 3:17) "For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."

(2 Corinthians 5:18-19) "And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;  {19} To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation."

(Romans 5:10) "For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life."

You must BELIEVE it in order to BE + LIVE it. You can never be greater than the God you worship and if that God is impotent, stupid, divisive, absent, retributive, petty, or cruel, you can't possibly hope to be any better yourself. 

As you believe your God, so shall you believe yourself. As you believe yourself, so shall you behave yourself. 

REST and be who you are, and know that no matter what you do in life it can NEVER separate you from the Love of God. You cannot add to how pleased He is with you because He is infinitely pleased already, and you cannot subtract from the love He has for you because the supply is infinite and can never be diminished.
