00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,920
S1: There is a difference between forgiveness and acceptance.

S2: Doctor Gary Chapman with a love language minute.

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,879
S1: You may accept many things about your spouse that you

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:14,040
S1: do not particularly like. In fact, such acceptance is necessary

5
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:19,079
S1: in healthy marriages. But forgiveness presupposes that you have been wronged,

6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,640
S1: treated unfairly. In the Bible, such action is called sin,

7
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,560
S1: and sin cannot be accepted. There are two responses to sin.

8
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,200
S1: We can confess our wrongdoing and seek forgiveness, or we

9
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,600
S1: can continue in our sin. The one who continues in

10
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,440
S1: sin will not be forgiven. In fact, God will bring

11
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,280
S1: discipline to the Christian who continues in sin. His desire

12
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,559
S1: is that we turn from our sin so that we

13
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:49,120
S1: can experience his forgiveness and have warm fellowship again in

14
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,240
S1: a healthy marriage. This will also be your desire.
