Forgiveness

A man of the church in Corinth was excommunicated as result of fornication he committed. This man was severely castigated by members, and Paul wrote to the members to forgive him for he has suffered enough. We are instructed sufficiently to forgive one another as Christ our Savior forgave us our sins and atone for us.

“I think it may be the greatest virtue on earth, and certainly the most needed. There is so much of meanness and abuse, of intolerance and hatred. There is so great a need for repentance and forgiveness. It is the great principle emphasized in all of scripture, both ancient and modern”. Gordon B. Hinckley. If you are unwilling to forgive and forget then you are of not God. Every member of the church is thought to forgive one another so we can also be forgiven as we press on to do our best to be with our Father in Heaven. President Hinckley said “The great Atonement was the supreme act of forgiveness”.
