3. FORGIVENESSFORGIVENESS
Many times in our lives we have been hurt so
badly that the thought of forgiveness pains us. A
major reason forgiveness is difficult is because,
the very thing you are trying to forget has to be
brought to rememberance in order to forgive.
With this lesson we hope to show you the
importance of forgiveness and that GOD(YHWH)
has commanded us to forgive for our own good
that it may save us from the judgement.
