Forgiveness

  • Psalms 130:3-4 – The idea of forgiveness is letting go.
  • I Corinthians 7:11 – The same word is used here and translated “divorced.”

Aren’t we glad that God forgives us?!

  • I John 1:9
  • Acts 5:30; 13:28

I have to learn how to quit holding grudges.

  • Matthew 6:12-15
  • Colossians 3:12-13
  • Ephesians 4:31-32 – We must forgive others in order for God to forgive us.
  • Matthew 18:21-35

Does the Bible require me to forget?

  • Hebrews 10:3
  • II Samuel 12:13-14 – Just because we are forgiven does not mean there are no earthly consequences.
  • Deuteronomy 8:1-6
