Fundamentals - Culture Of Honor - Part 1
The Forgiveness Principle – I will choose to walk in forgiveness and not easily take offense against me.
Acts 24:16 - “I myself always strive to have a conscience without offense toward God and men.”
Giving as well as receiving forgiveness is a must for the Christian who wants to live in peace and joy and in fellowship with God. The scripture is clear on this subject. Since, we as believers have the nature of God, we know that God delights in us portraying His character by forgiving others even as we have been forgiven. Our lives are filled with choices. We can choose to not be offended and forgive anyone who has directed hurtful words or actions toward us. In Proverbs 19:11 it says, a person's wisdom gives them patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.
Questions To Ponder:
Can you just forgive and move on? Are you a forgiving person? Are you committed to choose forgiveness first?
