This Sunday I begin a new sermon series on the power of forgiveness. While studying for this series I was amazed at how much information is out there on this subject, yet how difficult it is for us to be a people who practice forgiveness. Forgiveness is not just a good idea or something good people do. Forgiveness is the key to a healthy relationship with God and with one another. In preparation for this week's message here are a few passages to ponder regarding forgiveness.
- Ephesians 4:31-32, Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
- Matthew 6:14-15, 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.
- Psalms 32:1, Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
- Ephesians 1:7, In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace
