Christian Quotes About Forgiveness

To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.
– C.S. Lewis

– Alan Redpath
Satan | Repentance | Forgiveness

One of the most staggering truths of the Scriptures is to understand that we do not earn our way to heaven. …works have a place–but as a demonstration of having received God’s forgiveness, not as a badge of merit of having earned it.
– Ravi Zacharias
Scripture | Heaven | Forgiveness

Forgiveness is the economy of the heart. Forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits.
– Hannah More
Forgiveness | The Heart

I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note – torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one.
– Henry Ward Beecher
Forgiveness

– Frederick W. Robertson
Kindness | Forgiveness

Forgiveness is the giving, and so the receiving, of life.

– Rick Warren
Forgiveness | Grace

Forgiveness is God’s command.
– Martin Luther
Forgiveness

God pardons like a mother, who kisses the offense into everlasting forgiveness.
– Henry Ward Beecher
GodMothers | Forgiveness

When anything in life is an absolute requirement for your happiness and self-worth, it is essentially an ‘idol,’ something you are actually worshiping. When such a thing is threatened, your anger is absolute. Your anger is actually the way the idol keeps you in its service, in its chains. Therefore if you find that, despite all the efforts to forgive, your anger and bitterness cannot subside, you may need to look deeper and ask, ‘What am I defending? What is so important that I cannot live without?’ It may be that, until some inordinate desire is identified and confronted, you will not be able to master your anger.
– Tim Keller
Angerbitterness | Forgiveness | Happiness | Idolatry

If you take care of yourself and walk with integrity, you may be confident that God will deal with those who sin against you. Above all, don’t give birth to sin yourself; rather, pray for those who persecute you. God will one day turn your persecution into praise.
– Warren Wiersbe
Integrity | Forgiveness | Justice

Forgiveness is not that stripe which says, “I will forgive, but not forget.” It is not to bury the hatchet with the handle sticking out of the ground, so you can grasp it the minute you want it.
– Dwight L. Moody
Forgiveness

When God forgives, He at once restores.
– Theodore Epp
Forgiveness | Restoration

A great many people want to bring their faith, their works, their good deeds to Him for salvation. Bring your sins, and He will bear them away into the wilderness of forgetfulness, and you will never see them again.
– Dwight L. Moody
Forgiveness

Most laws condemn the soul and pronounce sentence. The result of the law of my God is perfect. It condemns but forgives. It restores – more than abundantly – what it takes away.
– Jim Elliot
Grace | Forgiveness | Restoration

Man has two great spiritual needs. One is for forgiveness. The other is for goodness.
– Billy Graham
Forgiveness

If God did not forgive the Christian who confesses and turns away from sin, God would become unrighteous by holding in contempt Christ’s atoning work, whose purpose was to uphold God’s glory.
– Daniel Fuller
Forgiveness | Confession

After grief for sin there should be joy for forgiveness.
– A. W. Pink
Forgiveness | Grief | Joy

We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.
– Martin Luther King Jr.
Forgiveness | Hatred | Enemies

To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.
– G.K. Chesterton
Love | Faith | Forgiveness

The trouble is, people do not know that Christ is a Deliverer. They forget that the Son of God came to keep them from sin as as well as to forgive it.
– Dwight L. Moody
Forgiveness

He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself; for every man has need to be forgiven.
– Thomas Fuller
Forgiveness

Every one says forgiveness is a lovely idea, until they have something to forgive.
– C.S. Lewis
Forgiveness

Many people are reluctant to show mercy because they don’t understand the difference between trust and forgiveness. Forgiveness is letting go of the past. Trust has to do with future behavior.
– Rick Warren
Forgiveness | The Future | Trust

I know for me, going back the person I’ve bad-mouthed or lied to is absolutely humiliating! But isn’t it interesting that “humiliating” has the same root word as “humility”? Part of humility is taking responsibility for my sin and asking forgiveness even when it doesn’t feel good. God wants to heal and restore your relationships, but it’s not easy.
– Chip Ingram
Humility | Forgiveness

It’s Satan’s delight to tell me that once he’s got me, he will keep me. But at that moment I can go back to God. And I know that if I confess my sins, God is faithful and just to forgive me.
– Alan Redpath
Satan | Repentance | Forgiveness

Forgiveness is always free. But that doesn’t mean that confession is always easy. Sometimes it is hard. Incredibly hard. It is painful to admit our sins and entrust ourselves to God’s care.
– Erwin Lutzer
Forgiveness | Confession

There is no chasm in society that cannot be firmly and permanently bridged by intercession; there is no feud or dislike that cannot be healed by the same exercise of love.
– Charles H. Brent
Prayer | Forgiveness | Intercession

God forgets your confessed sins; so should you.
– Woodrow Kroll
Forgiveness

Wherever God pardons sin, he subdues it… If the fetters of sin be broken off, and we walk at liberty in the ways of God, this is a blessed sign we are pardoned.
– Thomas Watson
Forgiveness | Liberty

Forgiveness is an act of the will, and the will can function regardless of the temperature of the heart.
– Corrie Ten Boom
Forgiveness | The Heart

You are nothing better than deceitful hypocrites if you harbor in your minds a single unforgiving thought. There are some sins which may be in the heart, and yet you may be saved. But you cannot be saved unless you are forgiving. If we do not choose to forgive, we choose to be damned.
– Charles Spurgeon
Forgiveness

God’s grace and forgiveness, while free to the recipient, are always costly for the giver. From the earliest parts of the Bible, it was understood that God could not forgive without sacrifice. No one who is seriously wronged can ‘just forgive’ the perpetrator. But when you forgive, that means you absorb the loss and the debt. You bear it yourself. All forgiveness, then, is costly.
– Tim Keller
Forgiveness

Forgiveness on the part of God always has a judicial basis, not an emotional basis, and represents an attitude of God based upon the satisfaction of His righteousness in some way.

Forgiveness | Justice

Forgive thyself little and others much.

Forgiveness | Humility

Forgiveness is the remission of sins. For it is by this that what has been lost, and was found, is saved from being lost again.
– Augustine
Forgiveness | Salvation

Forgiveness does not mean excusing.
– C.S. Lewis
Forgiveness

I firmly believe a great many prayers are not answered because we are not willing to forgive someone.
– Dwight L. Moody
Prayer | Forgiveness

It is vain for us to pray while conscious that we have injured another. Let us first make amends to the injured one before we dare approach God at either the private or the public altar.
– Jonathan Goforth
Relationships | Forgiveness

There is no thirst of the soul so consuming as the desire for pardon. The sense of its bestowal is the starting-point of all goodness. It comes bringing with it, if not the freshness of innocence, yet a glow of inspiration that nerves feeble hands for hard tasks, a fire of hope that lights anew the old high ideal, so that it stands before the eye in clear relief, beckoning to make it out on its own.
– Charles H. Brent
Forgiveness | Fire

Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.
– Assorted Authors
Forgiveness

If I cast up a confessed, repented, and forsaken sin against another, and allow my remembrance of that sin to colour my thinking and feed my suspicions, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
– Amy Carmichael
Forgiveness | Confession

To be able to look into God’s face, and know with the knowledge of faith that there is nothing between the soul and Him, is to experience the fullest peace the soul can know. Whatever else pardon may be, it is above all things admission into full fellowship with God.
– Charles H. Brent
Faith | Forgiveness | Fellowship

Forgiving and being forgiven are two names for the same thing. The important thing is that a discord has been resolved.
– C.S. Lewis
Forgiveness

No man can be happy without a friend, nor be sure of his friend till he is unhappy.
– Thomas Fuller
Forgiveness

– Josh McDowell
Forgiveness | Redemption | The Cross

Behold, what manner of love is this, that Christ should be arraigned and we adorned, that the curse should be laid on His head and the crown set on ours.
– Thomas Watson
Forgiveness

But the way to overcome is by patience, forgiving and praying for your enemies, in doing whereof you heap coals upon their heads, and your Lord shall open a door to you in your trouble: wait upon Him, as the night watch waiteth for the morning. He will not tarry. Go up to your watch-tower, and come not down, but by prayer, and faith, and hope, wait on.
– Samuel Rutherford
Overcoming | Prayer | Forgiveness

The assurance of His total forgiveness of our sins through the blood of Christ means we don’t have to play defensive games anymore. We don’t have to rationalize and excuse our sins. We can call sin exactly what it is, regardless of how ugly and shameful it may be, because we know that Jesus bore that sin in His body on the cross.
– Jerry Bridges
Forgiveness | Assurance | The Cross

Our forgiving others is not a cause of God’s forgiving us, but it is a condition without which He will not forgive us (Mt. 6:12).
– Thomas Watson

– Thomas Fuller
