“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God.” – 1 Peter 3:18
Suppose someone were to punch you in the nose? And suppose in an act of compassion you were to say to that person who punched you, “I forgive you.” And suppose they responded, “There’s no need for you to forgive me. I’ve already forgiven myself.” You’d feel a little cheated. Only the one who was punched can forgive the hitter.
Sin is a clenched fist in the face of God, and only God can forgive sin. There’s enough Gospel dynamite in 1 Peter 3:18 to blow the sin, the hatred, the sorrow, and the sickness out of anybody’s life, but that dynamite must be ignited by the spark of faith.
Is there someone in your life you need to forgive? Maybe someone from whom you need to ask forgiveness? Go do it now. Tomorrow may never come.

Why Doesn’t God Just Destroy Evil Now? 
All That Really Matters
Forgiveness, apart from accelerating our success in life will also help heal broken heart and build bridges where walls have previously been erected. Its an act that’s so difficult for some folks to implement, but so essential. Thanks for sharing.
Well said. 🙂
God bless
