A View Of Forgiveness

Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

Ephesians 4:32

God was kind and tenderhearted toward you, forgiving you even when you didn’t deserve it. If you base your attitude toward people on what they deserve, you’ve missed the point. Don’t yell at people, slander them, or get angry with them, even if they deserve it. Those who exemplify God’s character are loving, kind, tender, and forgiving. That’s the kind of attitude God expects from those who are His new creations in Christ.
