Forgive As Forgiven
Forgive As Forgiven
“Forgiving one another as God in Christ forgave you.” Ephesians 4:32
Every promise of God is rooted in God’s word or his work. When God calls you to forgive someone else, he empowers you to forgive by both his word (the command to forgive) and his work (the fact that he has already forgiven you in Christ).
You can’t give what you don’t have, and you don’t have what you haven’t received.
Forgiveness is impossible to give to someone else until you’ve received forgiveness.
What you have received, you are capable of giving. In fact, the very same forgiveness you have received from Christ, is what he now invites you to use when you forgive someone else.
Wait no longer— choose to forgive now.
Loving Father, the forgiveness I have received from Christ is the size of the ocean, and so I have all the forgiveness I need to extend to others. Right now I choose to forgive…(be specific).
Please PRAY!
We are asking God for the remaining world countries and U.S.A. states to receive the training of the College of Prayer. Pray with us today for San Marino and Idaho.
