Giving and Forgiving

“From a Christian perspective, there’s no mystery as to why non-Christians forgive, and often forgive so impressively. They are responsive to the one Word – to the giving and forgiving God working among them and in them, mostly incognito. God may employ their religious convictions and practices, or God may work apart from those convictions and practices. And so they forgive. That’s partly how the giving and forgiving God works in Christians too, often using but sometimes circumventing their convictions and practices.”
