23 minutes Posted Nov 1, 2021 at 10:00 am.

INTRODUCTIONS

FORGIVENESS MEANS “CANCELING OF A DEBT” REGARDLESS OF HOW YOU FEEL

REASONS WE NEED TO FORGIVE OTHERS?

CHRISTIAN FORGIVENESS IS DIFFERENT

AS CHRISTIANS, WE HAVE A DIVINE MANDATE TO FORGIVE.

TWO RESOURCES CHRISTIANS HAVE FOR FORGIVING OTHERS:

THE ULTIMATE JUDGE IS JESUS WHEN HE RETURNS (ROM. 12:19).

WHY ARE WE COMMANDED TO BE FORGIVING?

FIRST, BECAUSE IT REFLECTS THE GOSPEL (COL. 3:13)

SECOND, BECAUSE JESUS TOOK THE PUNISHMENT FOR OUR SINS!

THIRD, WE’RE COMMANDED TO FORGIVE BECAUSE IT GLORIFIES GOD

FOURTH, HOLDING ONTO HATE AND RESENTMENT IS TOXIC

CONSEQUENCES IF CHRISTIANS DON’T FORGIVE

FORGIVENESS IS A PROGRESSION: 8 ABC’S OF FORGIVENESS

A: ACKNOWLEDGE THE HURT THAT YOU FEEL.

B: BELIEVE THAT GOD WILL WORK THROUGH YOU WHEN YOU ARE FORGIVING AND USE IT TO DRAW YOU CLOSER TO HIM AND HEAL YOU.

C: CHOOSE TO FORGIVE.

D: DISCIPLINE YOUR HEART FOR FORGIVENESS USING THE SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES.

E: EMPATHIZE WITH THE WRONGDOER (1 TIM. 1:15)

F: FORGIVE THE OFFENDER

“ALL FORGIVENESS IS SUBSTITUTIONARY”

G: GAIN TRUST.

H: HOLD ONTO FORGIVENESS BECAUSE SATAN WILL TRY TO STEAL YOUR PEACE.

SO WHAT? WHAT ARE SOME PRACTICAL TAKEAWAYS ABOUT FORGIVING OTHERS?

FORGIVENESS USUALLY TAKES PLACE THROUGH A CONVERSATION.

JESUS TALKS ABOUT FORGIVENESS IN MATTHEW 5 & 18

FORGIVENESS DOESN’T MEAN THERE AREN’T CONSEQUENCES.

– FORGIVENESS DOESN’T DISCOUNT THE SIN AGAINST US AS MEANINGLESS OR UNIMPORTANT.

FORGIVENESS BRINGS HEALING.

NEXT STEPS…

THANK YOU AND CLOSE
