Apology

Apology is used by people to allow the other being to forgive them when they did something bad or harmful to someone. My question is, If you are forgiven does it subtract the weight of your sins? I don't know but if it did then you can be sin free if you apologized to the ones you sinned to.

I think apologies are great if they are sincere. I think if a person has said 'sorry' then they realize what they did was wrong. Then take steps to correct the mistake. They would learn to avoid it in the future. No one is perfect and we all make mistakes. Being adult is the ability to owe the mistake and learn from it. Forgiving people is not always easy. It can be rewarding to let go of feelings that harm us.

Of course lessining ones sin is something we aimed for but what matters most is when we forgive we take off our burden in our hearts and that the relationship that was once stained will be lost and that we can make a new beginning. If you just aim on lessining your sin that's why u forgive then that's not that genuine I believe. Happy mylotting :)
