Thank you Dr. Francis for this excellent essay. I agree when you write that "since repentance and forgiveness are products of love, perhaps we should match forgiveness to each word for love in the Greek." Since mankind is made in God's image, God has given us free will, and by this mechanism each of us can choose to repent of our sins and ask Him to forgive us. I did that, and He chose to forgive me in His covenant love and mercy. As 1 John 1:9 declares, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." That's amazing grace!
