Forgiveness doesn’t just mean I accept his apology, it means I treat him as if he hadn’t sinned against me. Now I may be traumatized and duck whenever he goes for a high five. I may not trust him the same, but I won’t hold that sin against him. I won’t try to get back at him, or be bitter towards him. Our relationship can be restored. Sin is a serious offense against God. It’s so serious to him, that he wouldn’t just overlook it. He knew it had to be punished. And God loved us so much that he sent Jesus. And Jesus loved us so much that he was willing to take that punishment at the cross for us. That’s what the cross is.
អំពើបាបគឺជាបទល្មើសធ្ងន់ធ្ងរប្រឆាំងនឹងព្រះ. ដូច្នេះវាជាការធ្ងន់ធ្ងរទៅឱ្យគាត់, ថាលោកនឹងមិនមែនគ្រាន់តែមើលរំលងវា. គាត់បានដឹងថាវាត្រូវបានផ្តន្ទាទោស. ហើយព្រះបានស្រឡាញ់យើងខ្លាំងដល់ម៉្លេះបានជាលោកចាត់ព្រះយេស៊ូវ. និងលោកយេស៊ូស្រឡាញ់យើងខ្លាំងដល់ម៉្លេះបានជាលោកសុខក្នុងការទទួលយកការផ្តន្ទាទោសដែលនៅលើឈើឆ្កាងសម្រាប់យើង. នោះជាអ្វីដែលឈើឆ្កាងគឺ. It’s Jesus stepping in and taking punishment that sinners deserve.
