Unpacking Forgiveness-chapter 4

Defining Forgiveness for Christians
Eph. 4:32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
The quality of mercy in not strained, It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven, Upon the place beneath: it is twice blessed/It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.
Shakespeare
p.55 In biblical forgiveness, the forgiving person pays the price of forgiveness.
p.57 or to punish by holding the person at a distance (I do this)
Christians must always forgive the repentant.
