This handout on What The Bible Says About Forgiveness, is used as a study guide for the lesson. If you’ve spent any time in church, you realize the importance of forgiveness. You are grateful for a God who was willing to die an excruciating death so YOUR sins could be forgiven.  A failure to understand the true nature of forgiveness leads to prolonged bitterness, fears and unnecessary guilt. It prevents us from receiving and granting life’s most important gift!
