About this ebook
It is precisely because we have received complete forgiveness for our sins, that we can in turn extend forgiveness to those who sin against us. In other words, God gave us the example which we are to follow. Believers who struggle to forgive others, have forgotten just how much the Lord Jesus has forgiven them. This book teaches how to forgive.
Michael E.B. Maher
About the Author From childhood, Michael E.B. Maher has always known that the Lord's call was upon his life for the ministry. When he was saved at the age of twenty-two, almost immediately the Lord Jesus began to deal with him about entering the ministry. However, it was only many years later that he committed to the Lord to answer the Lord's call to the ministry. And so, in 2014 Michael Maher Ministries was begun. From the beginning, the mandate given to Michael from the Lord Jesus was to preach the word. And so, this ministry preaches the word of God on every available platform around the world.

Chapter 1
Principles of forgiveness
We have been forgiven
Colossians 2:13-14 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, (14) having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
Before we can walk in forgiveness toward others, we need to be fully assured in our own hearts of the absolute forgiveness that we have received from God our Father through Christ Jesus our Lord. In the above quoted passage of scripture the Holy Spirit assures us that God has forgiven us all of our trespasses. And so we see that no matter how sinful a life we may have led before we came into the kingdom of God, every one of those sins has been forgiven because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Ephesians 4:32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.
It is precisely because we have received complete forgiveness for our sins that we can in turn extend forgiveness to those who sin against us. In other words God gave us the example which we are to follow, for in the above quoted passage of scripture the Holy Spirit teaches us to forgive one another even as God in Christ has forgiven us.
Matthew 18:23-33 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. (24) And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. (25) But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be made. (26) The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, 'Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.' (27) Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt. (28)
But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and
