HOW DO YOU ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS (From The Unshakable Truth Study Guide)
The idea of forgiveness is to set a person free of the offense against you, and that always comes at a cost. Think of a time someone wronged you. Explain the cost physically, emotionally, psychologically, financially, and so on, that was required of you to forgive that person. What sacrifice did you have to make to forgive?
Romans 3:20 and 23 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%203&version=CEV)

23 All of us have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory.
Hebrews 7:26-28 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews%207:26-28&version=CEV)
26 Jesus is the high priest we need. He is holy and innocent and faultless, and not at all like us sinners. Jesus is honored above all beings in heaven, 27 and he is better than any other high priest. Jesus doesn’t need to offer sacrifices each day for his own sins and then for the sins of the people. He offered a sacrifice once for all, when he gave himself. 28 The Law appoints priests who have weaknesses. But God’s promise, which came later than the Law, appoints his Son. And he is the perfect high priest forever.
