Forgiveness

Matthew 6:14-15 (NLT)

“If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you…

Matthew 6:14-15 (NLT)

“…But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not

forgive your sins.”

Luke 17:3-4 (NLT)

“…If another believer sins, rebuke that person; then if there is repentance, forgive…

Luke 17:3-4 (NLT)

“…Even if that person wrongs you seven times a day and each

time turns again and asks forgiveness, you must forgive.”

If You Don’t Forgive:

Emotional Slavery

Forgiveness Not Optional for the Christ Follower

There is a difference between Biblical Forgiveness

and Emotional Healing

Forgiveness Doesn’t Eliminate

Accountability or

Responsibility

“Don’t let the Pain of your Past, Punish your Present, Paralyze your Future and Pervert your Purpose because you have a

Godly Destiny!”

Life Implication:

If you don’t forgive, God can’t forgive you

and you remain in emotional slavery
