Live to Forgive


Why?


Simple.


Who gave his life for our sins, so that we may be forgiven. The one and only, true God, the Lord of Lords, the King of kings, my rock, and my salvation.

Imagine This....

Something goes wrong. It could be severe, like a murder, or something as light as a harsh word spoken. Our first reaction might be revenge. We want to get them back for what they did. It happens to everybody, even me. We all sin. It maybe hard, but we need to live to forgive.

"BEAR WITH EACH OTHER AND FORGIVE WHATEVER GRIEVANCES YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST ONE ANOTHER. FORGIVE AS THE LORD FORGAVE YOU." Colossians 3:13 (NIV)

"FOR IF YOU FORGIVE MEN WHEN THEY SIN AGAINST YOU, YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER WILL ALSO FORGIVE YOU. BUT IF YOU DO NOT FORGIVE MEN THEIR SINS, YOUR FATHER WILL NOT FORGIVE YOUR SINS." Matthew 6:14-15 (NIV)

Every one of us sins. Not only do others need to forgive us, but we ourselves need to ask for forgiveness. All we need to do is ask. God is that awesome.

"YOU MAY ASK ME FOR ANYTHING IN MY NAME, AND I WILL DO IT." John 14:14 (NIV)

"IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS, HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST AND WILL FORGIVE US OUR SINS AND PURIFY US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS." 1 John 1: 9 (NIV)

All this being said, now we need to forgive others of their sin, but we ourselves need forgiveness, too.
