Do not be mad or angry when someone has offended you although this seems almost impossible for humans because human instincts and nature dictates that if somebody does something wrong to you, the only thing that you are going to do is to be angry and to react.
As physicists say "For every action there is always an equal reaction"
When someone has done something wrong to you, the reaction of a Christian is not anger, it may sound silly but what we must do is that we have to be happy with someone who has done us wrong..Why? If somebody has sinned against you, it is an opportunity being given to you by God to forgive because the next thing you have to think about as a Christian when you have being offended is to forgive..Why?
Matthew 6:14;
"For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you"
And because you have the opportunity to forgive, the Father now finds the opportunity also to forgive you of your sins but if you do not forgive, you are taking away the possibility of the Father to Forgive you.
Matthew 6:15;
"But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."
The Father exercises justice always.
Matthew 5:7;
"Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy."
If we show mercy, God will also show us mercy..that is the reaction of God towards our actions.
How do you forgive somebody who has done evil things against you?
It is simply understanding why the Father allowed that person to do something evil to you because He wants us to learn how to forgive so that we may also be forgiven by Him.
Ecclesiastes 7:20;
"For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not."
By learning the virtue of forgiveness, we learn to forgive,we are meriting forgiveness from God and that is for our own good. if you know the gains and the profits of leaming how to forgive, then it will not be very hard to forgive.
Learning how to forgive is learning how to love yourself.
Thank you for reading.
It's not that easy to forgive someone who wrongs you but the commands of God must be obeyed.
If God who is all knowing can forget our iniquities, we should forgive those who offend us and forget the evil that people do unto us
It may not be easy to forgive someone who committed a great offense but if God can forgive us our sins, we should always forgive others too
As christians we must forgive others for the offense they caused us
We should endeavor to forget the bad things people do to us. We should not always remember evil while we forget the good
We should forget the bad things that people do to us
We can forgive anything or anyone who wrongs us if we are engraced by God.
