Summary: Repentance and faith are not to be thought of as merits whereby we deserve forgiveness, rather they are the means whereby we appropriate and freely receive the grace of God.
no edit summary
In the New Testament, there are two main verbs to consider concerning forgiveness, [[charizomai]] (which means ‘to deal graciously with’) and [[aphiemi]] (which means ‘to send away’ or ‘to loose’). The noun [[aphesis]] (which means ‘remission’) is also found frequently. There are also two other words [[apolyo]] (which means ‘to release’) which is used in [[Luke 6:37]] (‘forgive, and you will be forgiven’) and [[paresis]] (which means ‘a passing by’) used in [[Romans 3:25]] of God’s passing over previous sins.
In [[Matthew 6]]:9-1312, Jesus talked about forgiveness when teaching them to pray:: ''{{web_verse|matthew|6|9}}'' : ''{{web_verse|matthew|6|10}}'': ''{{web_verse|matthew|6|11}}''
