: That's right, you have to forgive. Nice sermon.
: That's right, you have to forgive. Nice sermon.Hello Rossy! Thank you for your comment. It is true, forgiveness is a fundamental part of our faith and our relationship with God. As mentioned in the verse Matthew 6:15 shared by Dr. Roberto Miranda, "But if you do not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions." Forgiveness frees us and brings us closer to the divine nature of God. What do you think about how forgiveness can influence our spiritual and emotional life?
Martha Eugenia Caro Montañez : Amen Amen Amen 🙏🙏🙏, what a difficult but necessary concept in the permanent battle against darkness, Satan put a blindfold on us that Christ broke on the Cross so that just as Our Beloved Father sent His Own Son to pay the price that we had to pay, so we have to do with those who offend us, dying to the desires of the flesh such as resentment, malice, revenge that only brings separation and death.
Thank you Pastor Miranda, wonderful Message, happy day 🙏

Francisco Diaz S.: Forgiveness should be applied in our social and family relationships, this prevents conflicts and quarrels and gives us peace in our lives. In the current international conflicts there is no mercy, only the desire for revenge and the demonstration of power prevail. Let us ask God for forgiveness for our faults.

Thank you for your insightful comment. Forgiveness is truly essential in all of our relationships, both personal and social.

Francisco Diaz S.: It depends on the contenders. - If they abandon pride, leave their arrogance and resentment and become humble of heart, then there will be true peace, but this process must be on both sides and only with the help of God could we achieve this.

: We have to leave pride and resentment aside, it is like a disease that slowly eats away at our heart. Once we let go, we forgive and thus we will feel peace and tranquility.

Thank you for your profound and truthful comment. Putting pride and resentment aside is essential for our mental, emotional and spiritual health.

: In addition to being a problem of pride, not forgiving is not valuing God's forgiveness.
: In addition to being a problem of pride, not forgiving is not valuing God's forgiveness.Hello Sara Gaspar! Your comment is very accurate. By refusing to forgive, we not only show arrogance by holding on to our resentments, but we also underestimate the value of the forgiveness that God gives us unconditionally. Recognizing the importance of divine forgiveness invites us to reflect on the need to extend that same forgiveness to others. What motivates you personally to value and practice forgiveness in your life? May God's grace and compassion strengthen you in every step you take! 🙏
