Forgiveness Required
Whenever someone has hurt our feelings, done us wrong, or has treated us unfairly, it’s human nature to dislike that person who hurt us, or even become bitter and angry. And the longer all those ugly feelings are allowed to stay in our hearts, the stronger the weed of hate grows, until eventually, it destroys any hope of happiness. God wants us to live the abundant life He has planned for us and that’s the reason He has commanded us to “forgive.” In fact, the Bible says in Matthew 6:14, “If you forgive others their sins, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.” Notice the requirement of the forgiveness of “our” sins–“IF you forgive others.” God also “commands” us in Colossians 3:13, “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” When we are hurt so deeply that it’s not possible for us to “forgive,” we can pray and ask God to put forgiveness in our hearts–and He will give us Holy Spirit power to forgive! And when we do, His sweet peace will flow through us and all that bitterness and anger will melt away! Forgiveness is required by God–because our eternal life depends on it! Text: Matthew 18:21-22, 1 John 1:9, Psalm 51:10-12

Bible Texts:
Matthew 18:21-22 NKJV - Then Peter came to Him and said, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?" Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. 

1 John 1:9 NKJV - If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 

Psalm 51:10-12 NKJV - Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
