“Forgiveness flounders because I exclude the enemy from the community of humans and myself from the community of sinners.”–Miroslav Volf

“Everyone thinks forgiveness is a lovely idea until he has something to forgive.”  –C.S. Lewis

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

Gospel Forgiveness Is Scandalous 

“Forgiveness means you bear the cost of what [someone] has done, rather than him [or her] bearing it. There is always a cost to wrongdoing and it must fall on someone. Either the wrongdoer bears it or someone else must.”  —Tim Keller

Gospel Forgiveness is Transformational

Forgiven people forgive people.
