Quotes:

“Forgiven sinners forgive sin”

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

“Not forgiving is like drinking rat poison and then waiting for the rat to die.” | Anne Lamott

“There is more grace in Christ than sin in you.” | Richard Sibbes

“Forgiveness can be a costly activity. When you cancel a debt, it does not just simply disappear. Instead, you absorb a liability that someone else deserves to pay. Similarly, forgiveness requires that you absorb certain effects of another person’s sins and you release that person from liability to punishment. This is precisely what Christ accomplished on Calvary.” | When Sinners Say I Do

“Forgiveness always comes at a cost to the one granting the forgiveness. To not retaliate is to absorb the cost.” | Pastor and Author Timothy Keller
