The Confusion About Forgiveness

Since forgiveness of our sins is God's central blessing in our salvation (read the Apostles' Creed and the Lord's Prayer), Christians ought to be clear on what forgiveness is. Yet there is so much confusion about it. What IS forgiveness? God's forgiveness of us? Our forgiveness of others? What does it mean when I say "I forgive you"? When does God's forgiveness take place? May we forgive someone who is not sorry? Does God forgive someone who is not sorry? May I forgive myself? These and other questions will be addressed on Thursday, November 3, 2022, at 7:00pm in a speech facilitated by Barrett Gritters, Professor of Practical Theology at the Protestant Reformed Theological School.
