Forgiveness Made Easy (3rd Edition)

By Dag Heward-Mills

Forgiveness can be difficult for us, as human beings! In the world, people hardly forgive. It is natural for a person not to forgive, but to seek revenge. However, when you become a new man, God expects you to forgive. Indeed, one cardinal difference between the Christian and the unbeliever is that the Christian has the ability to forgive and release the offender. A new man must be able to forgive! This book will make forgiveness easy for you to do!

Sometimes, in remembering what somebody has done to us, we forget that we have also wronged God and man From God’s point of view, a Christian who cannot forgive is rather strange. God will forgive you if you murder, lie, fornicate, commit adultery, and practise witchcraft. However, God will not forgive you if you bear someone a grudge. That is the point at which God stops forgiving you.

Do you want God to forgive you? Then forgive your brother! Do not allow unforgiveness in your heart to make you a wicked servant in the eyes of God.

Bishop Dag Heward-Mills will show you, through this blessed book, how to know whether you have truly forgiven your offenders and how to be delivered from the snare of unforgiveness.

CHAPTER 1

Christian Forgiveness

And that ye put on the NEW MAN...

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

Ephesians 4:24, 31-32

The Bible tells us that when we are born again, we become new men, or new creatures.

When a man becomes a doctor or an army officer, he is expected to behave in a certain way. In the same way, a certain pattern of behaviour is expected of anyone who claims to be a Christian or a new man.

One of the primary qualities of a new man is that he forgives. The new man should not live in unforgiveness.

According to biblical principles, the new man must not live his life according to what goes on in this world. In the world, people hardly forgive. It is natural for a person not to forgive, but to seek revenge. However, when you become a new man, God expects you to forgive.

Indeed, one cardinal difference between the Christian and the unbeliever is that the Christian has the ability to forgive and release the offender.

A new man must be able to forgive!

I know that I am a young man, and I know that I have not seen all there is to see in this life. However, in my short life I have experienced many wounds and hurts. I have also come to learn that learning to forgive is essential in moving along with God.

There are times I have stood in my pulpit claiming not to have a grudge against anyone while deep down, my heart was full of hurt. This is true for many, many Christians.

In my daily walk with Jesus, God has shown me how to be free from this syndrome of hurts and wounds. Indeed, the Bible makes it clear that offences shall surely come (Matthew 18:7). But how can I expect God’s forgiveness if I will not forgive?

I hope this book will be a blessing to you.

Let us obey the Lord and receive His blessing.

CHAPTER 2

The Lord’s Prayer Test

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

AND FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS, AS WE FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from
