Bible Question: Is a Christian to offer forgiveness to another Christian even though the other Christian is unrepentent about it? |
Bible Answer: Dear Mike, I agree with Lionheart's answer. I'd add that God Himself, and the Lord Jesus Christ, set the example of extending forgiveness to us before we ever get around to being repentant. I always recommend that we extend no more mercy and forgiveness to others than that which God has extended to us. :-) Remember, we have offended God infinitely more than any human will or has offended us!
