Choose To Forgive This Christmas
- Forgive people who have hurt you this Christmas as a deliberate act, not a feeling.
- Joby Martin says forgiveness is a command because Christ forgave us, so choose to cancel debts against you.
Forgiveness As Debt Cancellation
- Forgiveness settles moral accounts and removes debtor-creditor dynamics between people.
- Joby Martin compares forgiven sin to a canceled ledger that we must mirror horizontally toward others.
Forgive Without Forcing Reconciliation
- Distinguish forgiveness from reconciliation: forgive even if the other person never repents.
