Forgiveness : Its Limits And Liftings by Alliteration: 10:56pm On Jul 22, 2017
THE CONCEPT of forgiveness is a wide scope. It is not a business of spiritual playboys or kid girls. It covers a wide range of life. Life depends on it, eternity depends on it and our relationship with each other clearly stands on it. There are three hierarchy of forgiveness to be discussed, but I think we can only deal with one in this part. This three levels include :
Level 1: Forgiveness from Heaven
Level 2: Forgiveness from Human
Level 3: Forgiveness of Himself/ Herself
Now, considering the level one forgiveness. What do we think of this forgiveness from God(heaven)? We must know that God forgives without remembrance, We know we are forgiven by faith, and it is not hard to obtain, since He is God. The conditions for forgiveness must be met and this may include having a contrite and broken heart. We must understand some fundamentals of this level of forgiveness which is:
1. THE SIMPLICITY : Out of the three levels of the highlighted forgiveness, God's forgiveness is the easiest but the least understandable. The hardest form of forgiveness is self forgiveness.
2. THE SURPASSING : When God forgives, he remembers no more. The question is, can God forget? It seems confusing because it is not in the nature of God to forget things. The concept of ‘He will remember no more’ means... He chooses not to remember and not that he doesn't remember at all. He decided to forget it. This brought in the term JUSTIFICATION, meaning... Just as if I had not sinned.
3. THE SIGHT: We must also see that before God can forgive, sinners must first see he needs forgiveness. Proud sinners are unwanted, Passage Sinners are Unbearable, Penitent sinners are Undeniable.
4. THE STRINGENT : Another stringent issue is that, forgiveness only comes through atonement. NO ONE RECEIVES FORGIVENESS FROM GOD OUTSIDE THE CROSS. It is JESUS ONLY.
5. THE SEEKING : God has never forgiven who never ask. He knows the sin and all sinners need of forgiveness but YOU MUST ASK.
6. THE SUBLIME : God is more willing to forgive than we are willing to request for His forgiveness... Not willing that any should perish. It is not your tears or screams that brings the forgiveness. It is applying to the mercy of the cross and your heart Readiness for a turn around.
7. THE SINFULNESS : There is but only one unpardonable sin... The sin that lays the soul of man outside the reach of grace.
8. THE SUBTLETY : Forgiveness is not a joking matter. Sin is an offense against a great God. Do not make it a habit of asking for forgiveness for the same sins because you have seen yourself failing. Get connected to the provided victory.
9. THE STRING: Forgiveness is displayed after it is accepted by faith and not a feeling.
10. THE SUPERIOR : Sin is terrible and grievous but the provision of redemption is infinitely terrific and higher than all SINS.
