AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Corinthians 13:5 ¶ Test and evaluate yourselves to see whether you are in the faith and living your lives as [committed] believers. Examine yourselves [not me]!

Bible Question:
hi all, well today I come because I wish to seek the way of forgiveness. I still love my ex girlfriend and I can give her the gift of forgiveness, but I have some focused questiones that I need help with.. 1) If I forgive, great, but what does that mean towards the other person? "because the other person acted in infedelity" and I'm willing to look past that. 2) What is the process of forgiveness? 3) Does forgiving someone mean that they can still act in the same ways that hurt you before, or how does that work? Thanks all, God bless, it's just I really want things to work between my ex and I and I need some help from God first... |
Bible Answer: Hi NightJay, I'm sorry for your trouble. I always try to remember that Jesus was a friend of sinners. He did not turn His back on the world even tho the world had gone their way and turned to sin. He died so that all the sins of the world would be forgiven. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. It is very important for you to look past the sin and look to Jesus. May I ask is your girlfriend a believer? Is she a born again believer in Jesus? If so you need to talk to her about her sin. You said it was infidelity, were the two of you in sin together? if so you and she were sining as well, and you also need to confess your sin to Jesus. God bless. John |
