Essentials - WK4 Forgiveness

Essentials - WK4 Forgiveness 34 Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.".... Luke 23:34 (NIV) The Essentials for Forgiveness: 16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 (NIV) 1. Seeing people from HEAVEN'S view. (Vs 16-17) 2. Allow SUBMISSION to precede Admission. (Vs 18-19) 3. Are motivated by RESTORATION. (Vs 20-21) This week: Be Reconciled and SEEK Reconciliation for OTHERS. ...Freely you have received, freely give. Matthew 10:8b (NIV)
