Should Christians Forgive Without Repentance?

When 17-year-old Austin Metcalf was tragically murdered, his father publicly forgave the killer just one day later—a powerful act that moved many. But as Christians, we must ask: is forgiveness without repentance biblical?

In this video, we explore what Scripture actually teaches about forgiveness, repentance, and the gospel itself. With clarity and compassion, we look at Jesus’ own words, examine common misunderstandings, and consider how believers should respond when deeply wronged. If you want to forgive in a way that honors both truth and grace, this is a video you need to watch.
