Forgiveness

Forgiveness is not an empty word. It expresses the most real, immeasurably great transformation in a person's existence, for our relationship with God determines the content of our entire existence. It is . . . a complete transformation when a person's sinning has been rendered inoperative and inconsequential by divine forgiving.
