Before the foundations of the world, God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit devised a plan for the creation of mankind. Genesis tells the story of man’s fall into sin, but this is not the end of the story. Forgiveness and salvation were part of the master plan and each and every one of us is able to benefit from forgiveness and salvation because of Jesus’ crucifixion and subsequent resurrection.
We all know that God has a forgiving heart and that we are to forgive one another, but it would seem that the hardest forgiveness to accept is the forgiveness of ourselves.
