Episode 36: Repentance Is Central to Forgiveness

from The Speaking Out on Sex Abuse Podcast · host Jimmy and Clara Hinton

Abuse victims are often forced to forgive their abusers, or they are shamed into it. But repentance is a required condition of forgiveness. In fact, repentance is THE central theme of the Gospel. We cannot get away from repentance. Over and over again the scriptures are clear about bearing fruit in keeping with repentance. Yet this is ignored when church leaders talk to survivors of abuse. They are told, "You need to forgive no matter what." This is a far cry from what the scriptures teach.
