A Spirit of Forgiveness

Any culture that is not characterized by a spirit of forgiveness is a godless society. A culture filled with arrogance, self-defense, a sense of victimhood, incapable of genuine, grace-filled love, has no hope for reconciliation. A culture filled with enemies who refuse to forgive each other is doomed to hate-filled self-destruction. Why do we gloss over the truth that God looked at a world like ours and was moved to love them?
You can't hate someone into embracing the God of forgiveness.
