We all sinned and we all were driven by things that we didn't understand or know. We needed deliverance. God loved us, so much, He died on the cross that we might have life. When we experienced that love, we became believers and began to follow Christ. Philemon, fellow Christians, forgive for love's sake.
Love is willing to overlook.
John, in First John, says that is the test of our Christianity. Love is tested. The test is when someone comes along hurts you. They run away and leave you. They steal from you.
