My Thougths Above are many scriptures concerning forgiveness. While studying for this, I was stricken by the fact that all over the Old Testament scriptures for forgiveness there was all the rules and laws that had to be followed out to the note. However the New Testament delivers the way to forgiveness through Jesus Christ.

Looking at this as a script for a program:

We have a rule: Who do we forgive?

= everyone =>Luke 6:37 "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

Set to : forgiving = Fruit of the Spirit.
