Extending Grace to Others: Randy Alcorn's book

A short excerpt from Randy Alcorn's book, The GRACE and TRUTH PARADOX

One of the key takeaways from the book was:

Extending grace to others.

1.  Our debt to God is infinitely beyond our capacity to pay. 
2.  Our debt to God is infinitely greater than any person's debt to us. 
3.  When we truly experience God's forgiveness for our sins, we will be transformed into forgiving people. 

Extending grace frees us from the terrible burden of resentment and bitterness. Bad as they may be, anyone's offenses against me are far less than my offenses against God. If He's forgiven me, by His grace I can forgive them.
