"For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you."
1. When you forgive, learn to forget.
Isaiah 43:25
"I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more."
2. Once we forgive, we are also forgiven
Matthew 6:14
"For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you."
3. Jesus forgave his persecutors
Isaiah 53:5
"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed."
4. He forgave us.
Acts 10:42-43
"He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living and the dead. All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name."
5. Once you forgive, you find redemption.
Ephesians 1:7-10
"In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfilment — to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ."
With this thoughts of mine shared, I hope you find a strategy to forgiveness that works for you.
