Believing = Living

It’s easy to hold on to anger, especially when I have been wronged. It’s righteous anger, I tell myself, so I have a right to hold onto it. It’s justifiable.

Until I pray the great prayer… The one Jesus taught. “Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.”

Dang.

Jesus is the Living Word. If the goal of the Christian life is to become more like him, I must live the word.

Then I remember a great theological truth. I don’t deem myself right. I am justified (made right) in and through the Right One.

Forgiven to forgive.
