We Must Be a Forgiving People

We Must Be a Forgiving People Ephesians 4:31-32 –

“Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor,

and evil speaking be put away from you,

with all malice. And be kind to one

another, tenderhearted, forgiving one

another, even as God in Christ forgave

you.”

We Must Be a Forgiving People Matthew 18:10-15 –

“Moreover if your brother sins

against you, go and tell him his

fault between you and him

alone. If he hears you, you have

gained your brother.”

We Must Be a Forgiving People II Corinthians 2:4-11 –

“so that, on the contrary, you ought

rather to forgive and comfort him,

lest perhaps such a one be

swallowed up with too much sorrow.

Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your

love to him.”

Conclusion

Unforgiving is sin & we must treat it that way.

Unforgiving is serious.

Unforgiving separates us from God, from

God’s blessings, and from God’s promises.

Unforgiving will keep us out of heaven. We are to be a forgiving people and

forgive others, even as God in Christ has forgave us.

Conclusion

Ephesians 4:31-32 –

“forgiving one

another, even as God

in Christ forgave you.”
