Forgiving Is a Christian Way of Living
If you can’t forgive your brother.
What good is your Christianity?
Without “love in action…”
All is meaningless and vanity!
Is for your brother… You’re unwilling
to “go the extra mile…”
What good is it to go to church and
“pretend to wear a smile?”
Whether you’ve memorized scripture.
Or can sing 100 gospel songs…
It doesn’t mean anything… If you keep a record
of your brother’s wrongs.
When you stand before God on that
great judgement day.
What will your answer be?
What will you say?
Are you going to live by the
gospel that Jesus taught?
Will you love and forgive
others as you ought?
Christ died and gave his all for
people like me and you…
With the sacrifice he’s given…
What are you going to do?
Loving and forgiving those who’ve
wronged us is a difficult task.
Obeying God’s commands…
Is this too much to ask?
A life of true victory and freedom
is your decision.
It starts with looking at others
with God’s “20/20 vision…”
