"Forgiveness is a key to blessing. Forgiveness and repentance open up our hearts and allow the river of God to flow freely in us..." Although Christians may have some knowledge of basic doctrine they do not always know how to apply biblical truths to their lives. As a consequence they remain affected by problems from which they can be free. The "What Christians Should Know About..." series aims to bring understanding and knowledge into areas of ministry which frequently affect believers. It is by definition and introduction to the subject, but does aim to bring the main principles of biblical truth in a practical and easy to follow format.
