34 Forgiving Others



       Elder Richard G. Scott:

        “Forgiveness allows the love of God to purge your heart
            and mind of the poison of hate. It cleanses your
        consciousness of the desire for revenge. It makes place
         for the purifying, healing, restoring love of the Lord”
                    (in Conference Report, Apr. 1992, 45; or Ensign, May 1992, 33).
How often is the Lord willing to
    forgive? (Moroni 6:8.)

• Why is it important for us to
 have this same willingness to
            forgive?
How often should we forgive
 others? (Matthew 18:21–22.)

• How often do we ask the Lord
        to forgive us?
Why should we forgive others?
       (D&C 64:9–10.)

• How can it be a greater sin to
  refuse to forgive someone?
What blessings does the Lord
 promise us if we are forgiving
toward others? (Matthew 5:43–
              45.)

• How can forgiving others make
  us “children of our Father in
            Heaven”?
President Gordon B. Hinckley:
“There is no peace in harboring old grudges.
 There is no peace in reflecting on the pain
    of old wounds. There is peace only in
  repentance and forgiveness. This is the
    sweet peace of the Christ, who said,
  „Blessed are the peacemakers; for they
    shall be called the children of God.‟”
       (in Conference Report, Oct. 1980, 88; or Ensign, Nov. 1980, 63).




•Why is it difficult to feel peace when we
do not forgive others?
•How can forgiving others help us be
peacemakers?
