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.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

12 «Because I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities I will remember no more.»
Perdoar como fomos perdoados
Jesus ensinou que devemos perdoar setenta vezes sete. Se não perdoarmos aos outros, o Pai celestial também não nos perdoará.
21 Then Peter approaching, said to him, Master, if my brother repeatedly trespass against me, how often must I forgive him? must I seven times?22 Jesus answered, I say to you, not seven times, but seventy times seven times.

35 Thus will my heavenly Father treat every one of you, who forgives not, from his heart, his brother.
14 For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you;15 but if you forgive not others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

12 forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors;

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.
13 Bear with one another, and forgive each other, if any one have a complaint against any one: even as Christ forgave you, so also do you.

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.
38 And Peter said to them, Reform, and be each of you immersed in the name of Jesus Christ, in order to the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
19 Reform, therefore, and return to God, that so your sins may be blotted out; that seasons of refreshment may come from the presence of the Lord,
38 Be it known, therefore, to you, brethren, that by Him remission of sins is proclaimed to you:39 and by Him, every one that believes is justified from all things; from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
30 For though God overlooked the times of ignorance, he now makes proclamation to all men, everywhere, to reform;

15 carefully observing, lest any one come short of the favor of God; lest some bitter root springing up, trouble you, and by it many be polluted;
5 Now, if a certain person has grieved me, he has not grieved me except by a part of you, that I may not lay a load on you all.6 Sufficient for such a one is the punishment, which was inflicted by the majority.7 So that, on the other hand, you ought more willingly to forgive and comfort him, lest such a one should be swallowed up by excessive grief.8 Wherefore, I beseech you to confirm your love to him.

8 And above all things, have fervent love to one another; for love will cover a multitude of sins.
