If our Lord Jesus could forgive the adulterous woman for what she did,
then surely we can forgive others. Forgiveness is a cleansing tool God uses to
purify us, as God's vessels, so that we can go forward, refined as gold, to do
what the Lord has called us to do.
All of us would like to be perfect and never make a mistake, but we are
imperfect human beings. Some marriages end in divorce. Some Christians stumble
and fall. Some believers give in to temptation.
To be sure, God does not put the divine seal of approval on our sins
and failures, but through Jesus Christ, we can be forgiven and accepted. While
Christ points us to the ideal, He refuses to close the door to those who
sometimes fail to attain the ideal.
“If
we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our
sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9
