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.

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.

Perdão nos relacionamentos
Se teu irmão pecar contra ti, repreende-o; se se arrepender, perdoa-lhe. Não guarde ressentimento — liberte-se pelo perdão.
