Forgiveness
Forgiveness in Scripture is both God's pardon of us at the cross and the continuing pardon we extend to others as a consequence of it. The Lord's Prayer binds these together, and the parable of the unforgiving servant (Matthew 18) warns what happens when we separate them. Forgiveness names the wrong, does not minimise the cost, and releases the debt.
