Center Point Assembly

Pastor Mike takes us into the discussion of forgiveness and asks the question is forgiveness a requirement or is it a gift, or both? As we delve into this morning we see that forgiveness is very much both a requirement and a gift to the person that forgives. Christ forgave people their sin and thus gave "them" the gift of eternal life, when we forgive people and release them of the debt they owe us, we give "ourself" the gift of act of forgiveness... It is really for our own benefit that we choose to forgive proactively before we're ever asked to forgive... As we forgive we are pleasing to God and thus He blesses us with ultimate peace and perfect forgiveness of us. What more is there?
