Forgiveness

God's love for mankind
	          His wish that all come to Him
      		             unconditional

		        Forgiveness of sins,
	         restored closeness to the Lord,
		        peace-- conditional

		         Forgiving others
		     precedes being forgiven
		           Biblical tenet
