Shocking Revenge Obituaries and 5 Reasons to Forgive TODAY!

5. When you forgive, you show the world your real beliefs.

The world is watching, and our true view of God is revealed by how we respond when we’re wronged. Acts 7 shows an angry mob led by Saul—later renamed Paul—as they stone the early church leader Stephen. As Jesus rose from his throne in heaven to give Stephen a standing ovation, Stephen fell to his knees and cried aloud, “Lord, don’t hold this sin against them!” (Acts 7:60). When Stephen forgave his murderers, others saw the power of God’s forgiveness. Paul would later become a great messenger of the forgiveness he witnessed in Stephen that day.

When we leak and vent our complaints and grievances, we forget that the world is watching. We lose the opportunity to put the gospel of forgiveness into practice, which is the exact thing that our world desperately needs to see so that people can become healthy and live better lives forgiven and forgiving. Is there anyone that you need to take some time between you and God to forgive today and not waste another day living in bitterness?
