But forgiveness isn't a casual concept. God takes it seriously. So seriously that He has not given us an option in the matter. Obedience to His Word is essential.</p> <p>Why? Mostly for our own sake. There can be no intimacy with God and no love for others in a heart where bitterness and unforgiveness dwell. But where there is forgiveness, there is freedom. Spiritual power. Emotional healing. And sweet fellowship.</p> <p>Where there is forgiveness, there is a heart that God has touched--and a life that God can bless.</p> <p>Forgiveness. Almost no concept is more foundational to Christianity--or more important to your personal and spiritual well-being. Yet in an age where it has become fashionable to "forgive yourself" rather than to forgive others, can our modern ways of reckoning guilt, blame, mercy, and justice be reconciled with Jesus' teaching?</p> <p>Pastor John MacArthur thoroughly examines God's Word to answer the questions you're asking about the possibility, the power, the necessity, the freedom . . . the meaning of forgiveness--for your relationships, and for your soul.</p> 914958 30 3 1998 The Freedom and Power of Forgiveness total:5|5:2|4:2|3:1| 5 21 13 2 4 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Fri Jan 11 08:30:13 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 11 08:30:34 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Thu May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Mar 22 20:28:57 -0700 2008 Thu Dec 11 14:54:49 -0800 2008 ]]> 4 0 false false Tue Jun 30 23:44:56 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 30 23:45:01 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon May 04 20:58:26 -0700 2009 Mon May 04 20:58:26 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Mar 27 04:42:23 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 27 04:42:23 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Mar 24 06:23:22 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 24 06:23:22 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jan 19 23:35:44 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 19 23:37:59 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 23 17:31:37 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 31 09:06:14 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Mon Aug 04 04:40:09 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 04 04:40:09 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Mar 16 18:03:08 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 16 18:03:15 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sun Dec 07 07:20:59 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 23 10:45:03 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 07 07:20:59 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Tue Jan 22 12:43:59 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 22 12:43:59 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri Jul 27 11:37:12 -0700 2007 Fri Jul 27 11:37:12 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=929965
