Jesus said-Father, Forgive them for they know not what they do. He was dying and he showed us how to forgive our enemies.
One thing God wants from us is to forgive our enemies. People in the world can be very cruel. The bible does say the heart of man is desperately wicked.
There are people who want to take advantage of us and do us evil. People who make us and our loved ones suffer.
The wicked people make God angry but God loves them too, you know. He sends the rain to fall on both them and us.
How do we forgive those who hurt us?
How do we forgive those who made us and our loved ones suffer?.
Stephan was a great man. When he died he said-Lord, do not hold this sin against them.

He forgave those that were killing him. He was really kind. I know God wants us to be like this, doing things like forgiving those who hurt us, praying good prayers for our killers, feeding our enemies.
Satan the great tempter is the most evil. He would tempt people to hurt you then tempt you not to forgive, so he can take all your souls to hell.
We have to resist him. The way to resist is by the Word of God and prayer. The bible says-By strength shall no man prevail

Satan tempts us not to forgive an enemy who hurt us-We resist by praying to God-Forgive them because Christ forgave us.

Beautiful post....this is the difficult part in Christianity.
Self introspection, admitting we need heart transplants....and asking the Lord to perform it.
Character transformation....

Well, the Israelite learned the hard way that forgiving your enemy destroys one. Hitler taught them an indelible lesson. In the really world, it is an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. You kill me, I kill you.

Take a look at what Fulani herdsmen are doing in North Central (Benue) and other parts of the country. They know most of their victims are Christians and by default, Christians are docile. But if they mount a proportionate reactionary counter attack, everyone will respect themselves
