“kind” - a generous, sweet disposition.
“tenderhearted” - compassionate
Bitterness (malice)- I want them to feel what I felt
Tenderhearted (compassion) - I want to feel what they feel.
You cannot be kind and tenderhearted to one who has wronged you unless you first forgive them.
“forgiving one another” - It is a given that to be kind and tenderhearted you will be forgiving!
You won’t be kind, you’ll be cruel.
You won’t be tenderhearted, you’ll be hard-hearted
Malice or Kindness
Hardhearted or tenderhearted
Bitterness or forgiveness
The Principle of Forgiveness
“forgive” - to release from debt; to cease from resentment
Forgiveness does not mean overlooking sin.
Forgiveness does not mean you must forget.
“remember” - to recall or be mindful of.
Got can’t “fail” to remember, He chooses not to recall or be mindful of...
The Prompting for Forgiveness
What are the motivations for us to forgive?
I can tell you what it won’t be...
Your feelings - You won’t feel like forgiving
It won’t be the person who wronged you (you won’t forgive them because they deserve forgiveness - they don’t)
Your motivation starts and ends with God’s forgiveness to you.
And be ye kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, EVEN AS GOD, for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
God”s mercy and readiness to forgive ()
Are we “ready” to forgive or “ready” to retaliate?
God’s compassion ()
God’s family ()
God’s witness ()
God’s command (; )
The Parameters of Forgiveness
What has to happen before I forgive them?
What sins do I have to forgive?
Are there some I do not?
How many times?
Let’s look at the forgiveness that God extended to us...
No Cost (; )
No Exceptions (; , )
No Limit ()
The Price for Forgiveness
What’s it gonna cost them?
They have to pay for what they did.
What was the path that Jesus had to travel to go to the cross?
()
The price must be paid by the one who forgives!
You can carry the baggage of your bitterness and die under the weight of it.
You can carry your cross, die to your pride, and free your debtors from what you believe they owe you.
You “die” either way!
You can “die” being obedient to Jesus and be a testimony of His forgiveness.
You can “die” being disobedient to Jesus and be a testimony of hypocrisy (the ungrateful servant)
You will never be more like Jesus than when you extend forgiveness to those who don’t deserve it.
You’ll never truly understand what it cost for Christ to forgive you until you have paid the price to forgive another AS HE FORGAVE YOU!
