Answer 2

1 Corinthians 13. The love chapter. You get into "what love is". Patient, kind, gentle.....
If you cannot forgive, you cannot love.

Good topic for your paper:
Forgiveness is a DECISION, not a feeling. You might not FEEL like forgiving, but your mind says you are to forgive. So, even though you don't feel like forgiving, you make the decision to forgive. You tell Father you forgive this person, and you give it to Him.
But that's not it. Because the next day, some ol' bad FEELINGS will come creepy crawling back into your mind, and you will start feeling angry/hurt all over again. What do you do? Give it back to God. Tell Him that you have decided to forgive this person.

Forgiveness doesn't happen overnight. Just because you say you forgive, today, doesn't mean you will feel forgiveness tomorrow.

FORGIVENESS IS A PROCESS. You keep saying it in your mind long enough, your feelings will start catching up.

Also, even if you forgive, that doesn't mean you condone what the person did, and you don't have to put up with it again.

I like to think of it this way:

Love the sinner, not the sin.

Answer 3

I could list all the verses listed in the Bible, but I would run out of aloted characters before I get even half way done. Go to Barnes and Nobles or your local Christian book store and ask for the Strongs Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible (James Strong LL.D, STD). It lists every word in the Bible in alphabetical order and what verse it can be found in. It helps me in my everyday biblical study. If you are not doing an intense study and do not plan on buying it, just go to Barnes and Nobles and check it out. Good luck.

Answer 4

Psalm86:5,Luke7:42,Hebrews9:22,Collosians1:14,Luke5:21-24,Acts2:38, Matthew6:12-14,Acts10:43,Romans3:25,Luke1:77,Luke24:47,Matthew 18:21-22,Luke17:3-4 Ephesians4:32 There's more but I hope these help!

Answer 5

There's a lengthy passage on forgiveness in Matthew 18:21-35. It's a very motivational parable which is linked to us today by verse 35 - "So shall My heavenly Father also do to you, if each of you does not forgive his brother from your heart." In Galatians, the whole law is condensed into the commandment to "Love thy neighbor as thyself" (Gal. 5:4). Of course, the best lesson to see is the Savior Himself, hanging on the cross, saying, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do."

Hmmm well it's more about refuge than forgiveness, but:

"In my anguish I cried to the Lord and he answered by setting me free" Psalms 118:5

My goodness a whole book of them. A Bible concordance will
keep you reading for weeks.

Answer 10

Forgiveness is the act of setting someone free from an obligation to you that is a result of a wrong done against you. For example, a debt is forgiven when you free your debtor of his obligation to pay back what he owes you.
Forgiveness, then, involves three elements: injury, a debt resulting from the injury, and a cancellation of the debt. All three elements are essential if forgiveness is to take place. Before we look in more detail at this process, however, we need to trace the sequence of events that lead to bondage when this process is abandoned. This is important because I believe most people who suffer from an unforgiving spirit do not know that unforgiveness is the root of their problem.
All they know is that they just "can't stand" to be around certain people. They find themselves wanting to strike out at people when certain subjects are discussed. They feel uncomfortable around certain personality types. They lose their temper over little things. They constantly struggle with guilt over sins committed in the past. They can't get away from the ambivalence of hating the ones they know they should love the most. Such feelings and behavior patterns often indicate that people have not come to grips with the forgiveness of God and the implications of that forgiveness....
LUKE 15:11 Then He said: "A certain man had two sons.
12 "And the younger of them said to [his] father, `Father, give me the portion of goods that falls [to] [me].' So he divided to them [his] livelihood.
13 "And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living.
14 "But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want.
15 "Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 "And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him [anything].
17 "But when he came to himself, he said, `How many of my father's hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
18 `I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you,
19 "and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants." '
20 "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.
21 "And the son said to him, `Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.'
22 "But the father said to his servants, `Bring out the best robe and put [it] on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on [his] feet.
23 `And bring the fatted calf here and kill [it], and let us eat and be merry;
24 `for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' And they began to be merry.
25 "Now his older son was in the field. And as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 "So he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant.
27 "And he said to him, `Your brother has come, and because he has received him safe and sound, your father has killed the fatted calf.'
28 "But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and pleaded with him.
29 "So he answered and said to [his] father, `Lo, these many years I have been serving you; I never transgressed your commandment at any time; and yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends.
30 `But as soon as this son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with harlots, you killed the fatted calf for him.'
31 "And he said to him, `Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.
32 `It was right that we should make merry and be glad, for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found.' "
