DO YOU NEED TO FORGIVE SOMEONE, PART 5

JESUS,  DISPLAYED  TRUE EXAMPLE OF FORGIVENESS







The Lord requires us to forgive people who mistreat us.   It is not easy to forgive, especially if we were 
hurt badly. He'll help us erase hatred for  our abusers. He'll soften our hearts if we seek His help. This is not something that the average person can do alone. We have Adam's sinful nature inside of us.I pray that this week's study  will  encourages people to forgive their friends and family that  mistreated  them in the past. 

 
Please pray and study the following scriptures when you are struggling with forgiveness. They helped me 
a great deal. I have also attached a video by Corrie Ten Boom. I listened to her testimony and I was very moved by it. I do not know if an expired person can be your mentor, but she is mine.




 
BIBLE VERSES ABOUT FORGIVENESS

EPHESIANS  4:32 

And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.


Mark 11:25 

 “And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your 
Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.


1 JOHN 1: 9 

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all 
unrighteousness.
 

MATTHEW  6:14-15

14  “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.  
15  But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.


MATTHEW 6:12 

And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors.

JOHN  13:34  

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.


2 Corinthians 5:17

 
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 
 
 
MATTHEW  7:21-23  


21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 
22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 
23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave h

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the

DEPICTION OF RAHAB OF JERICHO I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.   This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to use a harlot (prostitute)
