# Feb 4 CHC Video Sermon
The 5 forgiveness questions.
1-A person should not be forgiven until he asks for it
2-When I have forgiven, I have minimized the pain caused by the offense
3-Forgiveness includes restoring trust and reuniting the relationship
4-You haven't really forgiven until you've forgotten the offense
5-When I know someone else is being hurt, it is my duty to forgive the offender
True or False? Not easy to answer... Anyone care to hazard a (or 5) guess(es)?
And the amazing thing was the 3 Rs from question 3, Repentance, Restitution, Rebuilding Trust
Repentance, we all know. But restitution, it's what we have to do when we want to be back on friendly terms. And i was thinking, isn't that what salvation is all about? Through our acts of restitution, we "gain" God's trust, and we achieve more and more for Him through His power.
This gave me a whole new revelation on what Salvation is all about. Why Christians still "do good". Another dimension other than the fact that we are so loved, but we are striving for a restitution of our relationship to the time of Adam. And how over time, we grow in God as He "trusts" us more.
Thanks goes out to Ps Tan Ye Peng of City Harvest Church. Thanks for being a blessing (=
