Why do we forgive?
Channel: Chapelstreet Church
Date: 2023-03-23

What is it about forgiveness that makes the act so difficult? There is something unnatural about it and so internally satisfying when someone who’s done wrong against us gets caught and rightly punished. Forgiveness is foreign to us because it is not a human idea at all, it’s God’s. 

When we forgive another who has wronged us, we reflect the very heart of Christ who loves freely despite the suffering that he’s endured. Our forgiveness is an imperfect shadow of God’s complete forgiveness. In today’s video, Julie Robertson from Chapelstreet Church’s Care department expands our perspective on forgiveness.
