Forgiveness is known but not readily understood, which is a profound disconnect. The numerous misconceptions about forgiveness create difficulty for believers and unbelievers with regard to relational well-being. Believers who have a faulty perception about forgiveness are hindered in their walk in Christ and in daily relationships. Unbelievers, due to their rejection of Christ, live in a world of pseudo-forgiveness that can only be remedied by a spiritual new birth. Forgiveness is a response of God’s love that needs to be understood and appropriated by believers in order for the clarity of Christ to be seen through them in daily life.
