#608: The Grace to Forgive
Show Notes

As Christians, we must see that the grace that offers us God’s forgiveness, enables us to forgive others when they sin against us.


Main Points:

1. Our forgiveness of others is a response to the forgiveness we have received. If God can forgive me, he can enable me to forgive others.
2. Christianity is a religion of forgiveness and healing. It is about God’s forgiveness of us, and our forgiveness of others. Both types of forgiveness are miracles and examples of how Jesus changes lives. Jesus is in the business of healing relationships and restoring families. I believe this is one of our greatest stories and most powerful ways we can witness to our community.
3. Forgiveness is a decision you make to refuse to live in the past. It’s a conscious choice to relate others from their sins against you, so that you can be set free.
