5 Uplifting Bible Quotes About FORGIVENESS

Forgiveness is a great gift. It can set us free and bring more peace into our lives. The Bible shows us in many verses how important forgiveness is for our relationship with God as well as people around us. Let’s have a look at five uplifting Bible quotes about forgiveness – the verses that can help us along the way.


1st – Daniel 9:9 (NRSVue)
To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness, but we have rebelled against him


2nd – Ephesians 1:7 (NRSVue)
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace


3rd – Ephesians 4:32 (NRSVue)

4th –  Matthew 18:21-22 (NRSVue)
Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, if my brother or sister sins against me, how often should I forgive? As many as seven times?” 22 Jesus said to him, “Not seven times, but, I tell you, seventy-seven times.


5th – 1 John 1:9 (NRSVue)
If we confess our sins, he who is faithful and just will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Forgiveness is more than just a decision – it’s a process that starts in our hearts. We can begin by realizing whom we need to forgive and pray for that person, which lets anger go and wounds inside heal. To forgive is never an easy thing to do. Only once we’ve realized that God has forgiven us countless times, we can perhaps do the same more easily. May God give us strength to forgive and find peace in our hearts again, so that we could walk through our lives in love and harmony.
us along the way.
