Pastor Joshua and Pastor Keren preach together about the purpose of forgiveness in a believer, but also why forgiveness is so hard and why forgiveness is so important.
Principle: Forgiveness is a non-negotiable for Christians.
Matthew 6:14-15 New Living Translation
14 “If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. 15 But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.
Principle: Our eternal destination depends on our ability to forgive.
Principle: Forgiveness keeps you healthy.
Matthew 18:21-22 New Living Translation
21 Then Peter came to him and asked, “Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?” 22 “No, not seven times,” Jesus replied, “but seventy times seven!
Principle: Unlimited grace was shown to us, so our challenge and command is unlimited grace towards others.
Proverbs 4:23 New International Version
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
Principle: If you guard your heart, it makes it easier to forgive.
Principle: You are always passing something down.
Principle: When we forgive, we discover purpose.
Genesis 45:4-5 New International Version
4 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to me.” When they had done so, he said, “I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt! 5 And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry
with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you.
Principle: Forgiveness releases generosity.
Genesis 45:17-18 New Living Translation
17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘This is what you must do: Load your pack animals, and hurry back to the land of Canaan. 18 Then get your father and all of your families, and return here to me. I will give you the very best land in Egypt, and you will eat from the best that the land produces.’”
