For many people, the act of forgiving others can be the hardest part of forgiveness. To take it a step deeper, the act of genuine forgiveness is even more challenging. Although it’s challenging, it’s crucial for us when maintaining an active relationship with God. Meaning, when we are reconciled to God through Christ, our new life will be marked by graciousness and forgiveness.
