Christian Debt Trust
The old saying, “Time heals all wounds,” iscomforting but not necessarily true. A serious emotional injury is like a deep physical wound. It doesn’t heal properly without treatment and may – with time – become abscessed, festering under the surface skin until it poisons the whole body.
Accepting a perfunctory apology is polite but meaningless. Even though it is gracious, such polite behavior does not pave the way for healing.
In the Bible, Forgiveness is Required by God and Modeled by Jesus
Many people do not understand biblical forgiveness. In Matthew 6:12, where Jesus is teaching his disciples to pray, he says, “Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.” (King James Version) A couple of verses later is the explanation, “For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” (Matthew 6:14-15, King James Version) That means if we do not forgive those who harm us, God will not forgive us. If we begrudgingly or half-heartedly forgive – which isn’t really forgiving – should we expect anything different from God?
