Forgiveness Primary Message: Forgiveness is an act of giving to another an opportunity of mercy. “Give to him that asks thee, and from him that would borrow of thee, turn not away.“ Mathew 5:42 Worldview: An eye for an eye, repay another what they have given unto you. Mathew 5:38 Evangelistic Emphasis: The Code of Hammurabi has been abolished through Jesus Christ. Forgive others that you may be forgiven. “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you and persecute you.” Mathew 5:44 For-give-ness, sometimes we have to break apart a word to get to the meaning. Jesus was the greatest giver of all time. He gave to the max; he gave the ultimate, because he gave his life. Forgiveness is giving. It is giving a free gift to someone that may not deserve it and unforgiveness is the act of not giving. Jesus teaches only to give. Our actions show our heart. We have a hard heart when we cant forgive and because of this we cannot and will not receive forgiveness when we ask. Are you a giver? This chapter takes a look into what it means to be a giver and a for-giver. Mathew 6:9-15 souls-for-christ/id65.html
