Subject: Searching for the truth |
Bible Note: It matters most of all to the person who perpatrated the wrong. Please notice that Saul (later Apostle Paul) honestly thought he was doing correctly in persecuting and killing christians but the Lord Himself had to set him straight. Makes you wonder about some of the sincere conclusions we all come to in our minds. That's one reason why I love this Forum. Even the best minds like those with as much education as Saul need an ocassional humbling. If you don't get an occasional humbling from either God or His children, I'd have to say you're not active enough in His Kingdom. It's the human way of survival of the fittest in the animal kingdom. But back to your question. If one of God's children doesn't repent to the one whom he has wronged, he faces Judgment Day in dire straits. Also, I would like to think the relationship can be healed and the bond between the two can be increased and made even better after repentance and forgiveness is exchanged. But in the final analysis, like you've alluded to, we all must adopt an attitude of forgiveness and go on about our lives of shining God's light through our lives here on earth. God bless you for seeing this higher priority with our Father. |
