You'll have to excuse me here, but it is vital that we know what redemption is, how it was wrought and the application of redemption by the Holy Spirit. Yes our imperfect works can be used, but the glory must always be given where the glory is due. Do you mind if I ask you a question? Can forgivness be instant? One thing I've been failing at is the practise of instant forgiveness, which is forgiving as the perceived offence is taking place or as the words are being spoken. Grace & truth, H. I agree that only God brings redemption. Out acts of forgiveness are God's forgiveness acted through. To forgive, we have to surrender our will to God. God can forgive us instantaneously; we, however, take time to surrender our will to Him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She very honestly admitted she was wrong and confessed her sin...and asked for forgiveness. Of course, I forgave her. I can and do ..... but I do not TRUST her. She has a habit (sort of a demonic stronghold) of talking evil behind people's backs....and then later regrets it. (Don't we all have our own area of weakness). She reminds me of that guy who used to be a drunk but quit...but ocassionally decides to sneak into a bar now and then and falls off the wagon. She struggles with her tongue. She bad mouthes people but then feels conviction and remorse later on. I know she talks badly about me, then ....I believe she truly feels sorry about what she said. Naturally, I have to forgive her each time (seven times seventy).......but boy, when a person is caught up in the sin of slander, you can forgive them....but you sure don't entrust yourself to them.
