Forgiveness + Repentance = Reconciliation: World Goal and Vision
Forgiveness and Repentance are twins and must be taught together, especially from a Christian and Jewish religious perspective, but it is right for the whole world when you consider. But as for specifically Christianity and Judaism, it is the full story or gospel of the end vision for relationship with God and mankind, mankind; one to another and that of Heaven and Earth.
God is calling for repentance across the board. Forgiveness is a state and must always be in one's life, no matter what. But lately it has been used as a tool and cloak for more unrighteousness and offense.
Reconciliation and peace is the goal. If you actually STUDY the bible and not just read it, from Genesis to Revelations, there is not a time that both forgiveness and repentance was required, even if these actual words are not used.
What has been happening lately, and especially by those qualified and ordained to preach and teach, is a one sided call for forgiveness and putting all the pressure on victims to forgive, almost victimizing them all over again. Yes. We all need to forgive to the utmost, even as Jesus has forgiven us. But not teaching repentance at the very same time, and expecting it, has emboldened sinners and victimizers. And there is an imbalance all over the world because the lack of speech seasoned with grace that literally constrains evil.
I am amazed at the things people are willing even to consider doing at all and to any one, and justifying all. And no one apologizes anymore. Much worse and in fact, we are finding that instead of repenting, apologizing, and compensating when appropriate, the offenders themselves are boldly preaching to those they have offended to forgive, even as they continue the offense and spread it to others.
This has to stop. It will stop. God has already called for it. And I am graced and sent to effectuate it.
Peace. Forgiveness + Repentance = Reconciliation, which is a ceasing of offense and peace.
Let's go all!
