Forgiveness

Forgiveness is something everybody deserves. In order for us to forgive we must be willing to move on; not necessarially forget. It's harder for mans flesh to forgive because we were born in a sinful nature. But God forgives everybody who asks for forgiveness and to be more Christ like, we should be willing to do the same. If a young teenager takes his or her own life to escape adolescent pressure, I think that they should be forgiven. Something similar happened to one of my friends and at that moment in time most of us have no idea what the person is feeling and what greif they are dealing with. Although we will greive over the loss of the person and be upset they left us, forgiveness is something that should be given out to someone who was going through a hard time in life. We need to be thankful that we were not put in the same situation as the teenager was.

  2. Many people believe that in order to be forgiven you must first ask for forgiveness. How do you think this statement applies to your example? Do you think that since the person was unable to ask for forgiveness after committing the act that he or she is unable to be forgiven? Or do you think that asking for forgiveness is irrelevant to getting it?
