Perdão e misericórdia
O perdão é o coração do evangelho. Deus nos perdoou em Cristo e nos chama a perdoar uns aos outros, assim como fomos perdoados — sem limites e sem condições.
O perdão de Deus
Deus é rico em misericórdia. Ele apaga nossas transgressões e não se lembra mais dos nossos pecados. Quem confessa, alcança perdão.
Perdoar como fomos perdoados
Jesus ensinou que devemos perdoar setenta vezes sete. Se não perdoarmos aos outros, o Pai celestial também não nos perdoará.
Then came Peter to him and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? until seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times; but, Until seventy times seven.

So shall also my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
And forgive us our debts,
As we also forgive our debtors.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
A prática do perdão
Perdoar é um ato de obediência e liberdade. A Escritura nos exorta a suportar uns aos outros e perdoar de coração, se alguém tiver algo contra outro.
Misericórdia e graça
Deus é compassivo e tardio em irar-se. A misericórdia triunfa sobre o juízo, e quem se humilha diante de Deus encontra graça abundante.
Arrependimento e perdão
O arrependimento genuíno abre as portas do perdão. Deus convida todos ao arrependimento e promete perdoar completamente quem volta a Ele.
And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Repent ye therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, that so there may come seasons of refreshing from the presence of the Lord;
Be it known unto you therefore, brethren, that through this man is proclaimed unto you remission of sins: and by him everyone that believeth is justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked; but now he commandeth all men everywhere to repent:
Perdão nos relacionamentos
Se teu irmão pecar contra ti, repreende-o; se se arrepender, perdoa-lhe. Não guarde ressentimento — liberte-se pelo perdão.
And whensoever ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against anyone; that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
And whensoever ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against anyone; that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
And whensoever ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against anyone; that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
