Forgiveness: How to Forgive When It Feels Impossible

- Pastor Don Mumford - 📅 September 22, 2026 ⏱️ 5 min read

The easy answer to forgiveness, is to remember how much we were against God, and yet He who knew no sin, became sin for all who would believe in Him. Jesus!! 2nd Corinthians 5:21. And we then received that beautiful blessing directly from the cross when Jesus said, “Father forgive them for they know not what they do!” Luke 23:34 Also, we don’t know what caused that person to act unjustly. However, we do know that the best act of love to our opposition is to sincerely forgive them. In doing so, we are free to live like Christ, leaving malice, and unforgiveness out of our hearts, yet showing mercy and grace. Even the question that comes up, how often should I forgive? (Matthew 18:21-22) “Seventy times seven.” As many times as needed. For we all have sinned and fall short of God’s glory. (Romans 3:23)
