This process requires genuine human anger and grief, plus-and here is the awful cost of such freedom-a humble willingness to see the offender as God sees that person, in all his or her terrible brokenness and need for God's saving power. I would never tell another, 'You have to forgive.'” NeedsHumansPersonsLastsProcessChristGriefTerribleCostForgivenessForgivingHumbleGenuineAwfulSavingPlusWillingnessBitternessConsumingRisenBrokennessCondemnationBindingOffenders Author:Gordon Dalbey

But grace, to relieve us from the condemnation of the one, and truth answerable to the types and shadows of the other, came by Jesus Christ.” WayChristianLawJesusGivenChristSinMoralGraceSacrificeTypeShadowJesus ChristTypicalMosesCondemnationMoral Law Book:The Works of the Rev.
