Forgiveness: Freedom to Forgive

Philemon 1-25 - As Christ followers we may understand that God is forgiving and has forgiven us and that we are to reflect His nature and character to the world by forgiving others; however, finding the freedom to actually forgive is difficult for many. In our weakness and pride many are more prone to harbor bitterness and resentment than to offer forgiveness. From the story of Philemon we lear that God has given us everything we need to become forgiving people.
