forgiveness: revelation of the Kingdom of God By Hilary Alflatt (MA’74) Athena Press Ltd. ISBN 10: 1847485413 ISBN 13: 9781847485410 Christian life is a journey of transformation in which the love of our true selves (created in God’s image) transforms the negative patterns of our acquired personalities through the grace of God. This process involves an endless series of conversions; forgive - ness is always a part of this. The more we develop a loving and forgiving attitude in life, the more likely we are to be able to for - give in specific instances. We need to develop hearts which are more empathetic, more praying, more loving. Forgiveness is also the most fundamental form of the ‘letting go’ which pre - pares us for death and enables us to live in freedom. Peace can only be established within ourselves, between commu - nities and among nations as we are able to listen and for - give. Forgiveness is supremely important for God’s redemption of the world and for the salvation of the indi - vidual. This importance goes far beyond the importance which all in our society would now acknowledge: the importance for our psychological well-being to forgive and let go of the grudges and resentments which can Photo: Submitted poison our lives.
