Matthew 6:15
Matthew 6:15
But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Holding onto grudges hinders our growth, while choosing forgiveness liberates us from the chains of resentment. This principle of mercy is a powerful reminder that our own peace is intertwined with our willingness to forgive others. Each act of forgiveness reflects a commitment to a life of grace, a life that values healing over hurt. By letting go of past wrongs, we free ourselves to live with a heart that is open to love and reconciliation. This choice to forgive strengthens our relationships, creating a foundation of trust and compassion. Embracing this principle is a testament to a heart that seeks harmony, a life that reflects the values of empathy and kindness. This journey of forgiveness is not always easy, but it is a path that leads to a life of peace and fulfillment, a life that inspires others to seek reconciliation and unity.

Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me, for my soul trusteth in thee.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Daniel 9:9
To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness: for we have rebelled against him;
Isaiah 1:18
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
