LET US FORGIVE ONE ANOTHER

CHRIST MOST BELOVED:
ONE OF THE MAJOR ASPECT OF BEING A CHRISTIAN IS TO BE ABLE AND WILLING TO FORGIVE WHEN VIOLATED.
IT IS NOT WHAT YOU SAY YOU ARE IN CHRIST THAT MATTERS; OR WHAT YOU PREACH TO YOUR LISTENERS, BUT HOW YOU REACT WHEN VIOLATED, AND HOW QUICK YOU ARE ABLE TO FORGIVE.
LET US REMEMBER THAT IF NOT BY HIS FORGIVENESS, WE ARE NOT WORTHY TO BE CALLED CHILDREN OF GOD.
IF WE ARE SO QUICK TO ASK GOD FOR FORGIVENESS, AND EXPECT OTHERS TO OVER LOOK WHAT WE REFERRED TO AS MINOR MISTAKE(S) BUT FAILED IN OUR OWN PART TO FORGIVE OTHERS WHEN VIOLATED. THAT IS UNFAIR TO OUR FAITH IN CHRIST.
OUR SHIP LOAD OF SINS ARE FORGIVEN AT THE VERY MOMENT WE ACCEPT CHRIST AS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR.
2 CORINTHIANS, 5:-17 “THEREFORE IF ANY MAN BE IN CHRIS, HE IS A NEW CREATURE; OLD THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY, BEHOLD ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW.”
“IN HIM WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RICHES OF GOD’S GRACE.” (EPHESIANS, 1:-7)
IF IT IS THE WILL OF GOD THAT WE SHOULD FORGIVE OTHERS, WHY THEN DO WE HESITATE?
MATTHEW, 6:-14-15 “IF YE FORGIVE MEN THEIR TRESPASSES, YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER WILL ALSO FORGIVE YOU; BUT IF YE FORGIVE NOT MEN THEIR TRESPASSES,NEITHER WILL YOUR FATHER FORGIVE YOUR TRESPASSES.”
PLEASE LET US ALL LEARN FROM THE PARABLE OF THE UNFORGIVING SERVANT IN THE BOOK OF MATTHEW, 18:-21-35.
NOW: MAY THE GOD OF ENDURANCE AND ENCOURAGEMENT GRANT US TO LIVE IN SUCH HARMONY WITH ONE ANOTHER, IN ACCORD WITH CHRIST JESUS, THAT TOGETHER WE MAY WITH ONE VOICE GLORIFY THE GOD AND FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME WE PRAY. AMEN.
