My instructions are as follows:
After reading and viewing this week’s material, complete all 3 parts in the same APA formatted Word document.
Part 1
“Christians are the most forgiven people in the world. Therefore, we should be the most forgiving people in the world. As most of us know from experience, however, it is often difficult to forgive others genuinely and completely. We often find ourselves practicing a form of forgiveness that is neither biblical nor healing” (Sande, 2004).
