 ** Forgiveness ... **

 </color> (from John 1)
+First, forgiveness is a personal concept. It is linked to myself, to my life, my feelings, my
+experiences, my relationship to other people or to God. If someone acts, this will have an
+impact on my life. He or she can hurt me by words. I can be hurt physically. I can be hurt by
+many things. Forgiveness is a process in the middle of a relationship. When someone does what
+he should not do, or someone does not do what he should do, forgiveness is necessary. Without
+forgiveness there will be "guilt", just describing the discrepancy between the demand of
+some action or non-action and the action itself. Guilt can make relationships difficult, so
+it has to be paid or forgiven.

 ** Justification ... **
+Justification is a legal term which takes up the discrepancy between actions and requirement.
+Requirements can come in the form of rules, in the form of written or non-written laws and
+expectations. Requirements can be based on natural law, or on contract, or on other facts.
+Justification means to meet some contract or to be in line with the rules or laws. I am justified
+if the contract is fulfilled.
+The story the bible tells us about Jesus is about forgiveness, but also about justification.
+The contract it talks about is the word of God to Adam and Eve: if you eat from this tree
+you will surely die. The contract is established by the word of God, it is given. Now, Adam
+and Eve ate and they died. With them, mankind was given into life and death as we know it.
+Now, the New Testament claims that Jesus with his death at the cross satisfied the contract
+given to mankind. He believed. He lived the way of trust and innocence. He did
+not have to die. But he was crucified, and God accepts his death as the completion of the contract
+given in the Garden of Eden. With him, we are justified, in faith and through faith. Here,
+the role of the "Lamb of God" is universal and complete.
