There is an old adage that says, “To err is human, to forgive divine”. This is exactly right!

What does it mean to err? It means to make a mistake or to wander off of a direct course.

When we sin against God; we have wandered off His right way which is narrow, and we have missed the mark. However, the Bible tells us that all people have sinned or missed the mark.

The Bible says that all have fallen short of the glory of God. This means that we have erred from God's excellence and His perfection.

Romans 3:23, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"

That is why it is divine to forgive. True, pure forgiveness is not possible for a human being without God's help. We humans are basically selfish, revengeful and unforgiving in the natural.

It takes the “super” natural power of God to forgive. Then you may say, “Then what is our part in forgiveness?” Ours is the crucial part and the initial impetus.

Forgiveness, for a Christian is in a decision. We must decide to forgive or to hold on to an offense.

The sooner we decide to forgive; the sooner the Lord can start the healing process in our hearts and lives.

We suffer offenses on a regular basis, and so it is imperative for each one of us to know the process for overcoming unforgiveness in the Name of Jesus Christ.

The Lord has provided the answer, it is His blood. His blood covers every sin and offense, not only from us toward others but also offenses toward us from our worse enemies.
