FORGIVENESS
Matthew chapter 18 versus 21 through 35, the Lord says this then Peter came to him and said Lord how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him up to seven times Jesus said to him I do not say to you up to seven times but up his Seventy Times Seven there for the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain King who wanted to settle accounts with his servants and when he had begun to settle accounts one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents but as he was not able to pay his master commanded that he be sold with his wife and children and all that he had and that payment be made the servant therefore fell down before him saying Master have patience with me and I will pay you all then the master of the survey was moved with compassion released him and forgave him the debt but that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat saying pay me what you owe so his fellow servant fell down at his feet and beg him saying have patience with me and I will pay you all and he would not but went and threw him into prison tell he should pay the debt so when his fellow servants saw what had been done they were very grieved and came and told their master all that had been done then his master after he had called him said to him you Wicked servant I forgave you all that that because you begged me should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant just as I had pity on you and his master was angry and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him so my heavenly father will also do to you if each of you from his heart does not forgive his brother his trespasses in Jesus name amen.
Forgiveness is very important in the kingdom of God, it was forgiveness that make way to salvation, the salvation through the precious blood of Christ Jesus will not be possible if there was no forgiveness of sins.
From the above Bible verses we learn that God is expecting all true believers (those that God had forgiven their sins) to learn how to forgive each other, forgiveness leads to peace and healthy relationship.
Four Healing Truths about Forgiveness from the Lord’s Supper.
“For this is My blood of the New Covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins” (Matthew 26:28 NKJV).When a believer comes forward to receive Holy Communion (the Lord’s Supper), the words of the institution recalibrate us back to the shed blood of Christ Jesus. In fact, that is why Holy Communion is not a one-time sacrament, like baptism. It is a continuing sacrament (“for as often [my emphasis] as you eat this Bread and drink the Cup.” 1 Corinthians 11:26).
Allow your mind and whole person soak in the life-giving, healing salve of this one saying:
1. “For this is
2. My blood of the New Covenant,
3. which is shed for many
4. for the remission of sins” (Matthew 26:28 NKJV).
In those radiant words spoken by our Lord And Savior Jesus Christ, we may discern a theology of forgiveness. Get reacquainted with the concept that changed your life and sustains you in common life with others and, especially, with your Creator. For the glorious Biblical truth is that God has made forgiveness available to any who call upon Him.
We observe this divine revelation through four fundamental Gospel truths about forgiveness.
