Forgiveness
Forgiveness is more than just a random act. It is actually a vital part of both Christian faith and psychological well-being. God desires to have a relationship with us and then means that we must receive the forgiveness that Jesus purchased on the cross for us. He also wants us to give forgiveness to others. Jesus taught us to pray “…forgive us our debts and we forgive those who trespass against us.” Forgiving someone is not just at church, it is done every day, in every place we go. Besides God’s grace in salvation and forgiveness, He has provided us with a way to live in peace. There are psychological benefits to forgiving others. There are many steps and phases of forgiveness to learn and keep practicing. This capstone essay will show that forgiveness is Biblical, has proven psychological benefits, and has real world applications.
