Matthew 6:14-15 NIV
SO WHY IS FORGIVENESS SO IMPORTANT?
1) Jesus commanded it.
Colossians 3:13 NIV
Human forgiveness and divine forgiveness are inextricably intertwined.
I must always remember the grace I am daily given and extend that grace to the people in my life.
2) It keeps you out of prison.
Forgiveness is simply letting go of past grudges or lingering anger against a person who has wronged you…despite feelings!
SO HOW DO I FORGIVE?
1) You can’t do it on your own
Luke 18:27 NIV
Jeremiah 33:3 NIV
2) Give the hurt to God.
Matthew 22:37 NIV
3) Remember how you have been forgiven.
4) Keep on forgiving.
Know Christ and make Him known!
