The word for today is - Forgiveness !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Forgiveness ! 

 

Do you not know that forgiveness starts in the heart? Read John 3:16,For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Then the word tells us there is no greater love then this. Wow! So,let us give God thanks for while we were still sinners, "He loved us"and died for us,read Romans 5:7-8,For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. How Awesome is that? He payed the price for us (the believers),God has forgiven us, read Jeremiah 31:34, And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. He chooses not to bring them up again! Let us understand that God loves us and He wants us to love one another and move forward, Matthew 18:33-35, Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow servant, even as I had pity on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses. The only way for us to grow in Christ is to be more like Him, we must study His word so we can grow! Let us not judge one another, but forgive one another and pray for one another. Don't be Hypocrisy or a hypocrite,read 1 John 4:20,If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? So let us think about Michael Jackson song,take a look at the man in the mirror first, the bible says, that you are a hypocrite. First you should ask God to forgive you and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. Read Matthew 7:1-5, Judge not, that ye be not judged.For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. Remembering that our sins are forgiven should make it easier for us to forgive others. Anyone that can not forgive another is not walking by the spirit of God. We should be walking by the fruit of the Spirit, read Galatians 5:22-23, But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Heavenly Father, let us learn to be more like you. Let us lay aside our feelings and choose your ways. Let us do everything by your word, by your principles. Let us seek your Godly Counsel. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
