AB - This essay offers a biblical perspective on the forgiveness issue raised in the
context of marriage counseling. Forgiveness is often seen as a key factor to
resolve conflicts in interpersonal relationships including marital relationship.
However, current studies on forgiveness in Christian counseling literature tend
to be psychological and lack sound biblical perspective.
After assessing an approach to forgiveness, Everett Worthington, Jr.’s five
step forgiveness model, this essay offers an biblical approach to forgiveness
issue in marriage by using a case. The approach consists of three sessions, twice
with individual spouses and once with a couple. The first session is for understanding
the hurts with some cautions in dealing with the issue in marriage
counseling. The second provides several distinctive points that differ from current
literature from Jesus’parable on Forgiveness in Matthew 18: 23-35: Forgiveness
is not a choice, but God’s command that requires his people’s obedience;
Refusing forgiveness may lead victims to become victimizers; Forgiveness is
not an one-time event but life-time process, which needs help from the Holy
Spirit; Forgiveness can be best understood in the light of the work of Christ
and believer’s union with Christ.
Finally, the essay points out that forgiveness is God’s gift to his people. By
offering this gift to others, Christians are experiencing the power of living God
in their lives.
