In a recent article posted on the Business Insider website, a CNN interview was referenced in which Donald Trump stated he does not regret never asking God for forgiveness, as he feels he doesn't have much to apologize for. Kristi Burchfiel, author of 'Piecing Together Forgiveness: A Study Of Philemon', believes forgiveness is a key concept that forms the basis of a direct relationship with God.
“Forgiveness is the key to all relationships,” Burchfiel explains. “Since none of us are perfect, each and every one of us will, at some point, do something wrong to another person or have another person do something wrong to us. Knowing how to respond in those situations gives us the opportunity to rescue and restore those relationships.” Burchfiel continues, “Our relationship with God through Jesus Christ is the most important relationship that we can have and it forms the basis for every other relationship in our lives. Only because of God’s forgiveness of us through His Son Jesus Christ are we able to experience true forgiveness for the wrongs that we have done. When we have been forgiven, then we understand what it means to forgive and ask forgiveness from others.”
Every one of us has either wronged another person or been wronged by someone else. Talking about forgiveness is great, but most people don’t know what forgiveness means or how to do it. What is forgiveness? How do we ask for forgiveness? How do we extend forgiveness to others? What about when people hurt my loved ones? How do I teach others about forgiveness? How do I make forgiveness last?
In 'Piecing Together Forgiveness: A Study Of Philemon', readers will learn not only the principles of forgiveness, but also how they can be applied to impact one's life and relationships. Readers will find answers and see how to piece together a beautiful picture of Godly forgiveness.
