Christians Receive the Free Gift of Forgiveness
Forgiveness restores the severed connection, like repairing a bridge, like tuning an instrument with a sour note, returning unity and balance that was momentarily lost. It may be a small matter, or a life-altering situation. The power of forgiveness can bring about healing like no other medication or treatment can do.

Forgiveness Provides Freedom and Unity
Each believer has the responsibility to consciously make the choice to release the offender and forgive them. This mirrors the incredible forgiveness of God, who sent His Son to die on the cross, when all of mankind was dead in their sin and not even aware of their need for a Savior.

The Son of Man has Power on Earth
The four men carrying the paralyzed man were all proactive in their resolve to connect with Jesus. They weren’t going to let the circumstances hinder them from their purpose. If they couldn’t get in through the front door, they would go through the roof. This demonstration still speaks loudly today to those with ears to hear.

Innocence is Restored at Salvation, but Believer Must Maintain Innocence to Enjoy the Kingdom of God
One cannot help but be charmed by the innocence of children. Christ has restored innocence for those who will embrace His sustitutionary death at Calvary on our behalf. The way Father God sees Christ, is the same way He sees those in Christ. Believers must see themselves as full-fledged members of the family of God, not lessor sons and daughters.

How to Help Teenagers Offer the Gift of Forgiveness
There's an old saying often used by youth which promotes the concept that sticks and stones may break bones but words will never hurt. Not so. To be treated disrespectfully, ignored or insulted are forms of rejection that can be humiliating, or even devastating to one's self-esteem. The response might be simple avoidance, or maybe introversion, or to lash out in anger towards them or to get even. Life is full of different situations where people's actions or reactions towards others are unpleasant or even mean. Vengeance is not the answer. God's Word says to forgive them.
