WHAT IS TRUE FORGIVNESS? 7-7-24 VIDEO
Forgiveness is the product of unselfish love. Jesus took upon Himself our sin so that we could be restored back to the original intent for our lives without shame. Forgiveness is the currency of heaven. It is the unselfish unmerited love of God, given by Christ for all of mankind sins. We were bought with the price. Jesus used his blood as currency to buy our total forgiveness.
1 Cor 13:5 It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God's love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].
6 It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail. AMP
1 Corinthians 13:5 Love is predictable and does not behave out of character. Love is not ambitious. Love is not spiteful and gets no mileage out of anothers mistakes; it bears no record of wrongs.
