Walking In Forgiveness
Believers are called to release resentment, forgive those who have wronged them, and respond to others with the mercy they have received from God.
Scripture
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Truth
Believers should forgive others as an expression of the forgiveness and mercy they have received from God.
