Other Basic Teachings on Forgiveness.
As we read through the Scriptures, we need to be assured and accepting of these other teachings about forgiveness:-
- Matthew 6:14, Mark 11:25, show that we must make a decision to forgive others and be ready and willing to forgive.
- These passages also show that forgiveness of others is mandatory. God commands us to forgive.
- Passages such as Luke 17:1-4, Matthew 18:15ff, Deuteronomy 29:19-20, etc demand repentance as a forerunner to forgiveness. Jesus Himself told us that we are to proclaim repentance and forgiveness in His name. Both go together in our preaching to the nations (Luke 24:46-47).
Prayer:-
- Pray that God would grant our Session great wisdom and insight and godliness as they lead us through another year. Pray that these men will be Spirit filled, Spirit led and able to walk in the Spirit in their own lives before they teach and lead us.
- Pray that all of the ministry leaders and servants will be refreshed and renewed in the Lord before the busy-ness of 2011 comes upon us. Pray that all will be ready for a another year of joyous and profitable service.
