Forgiveness; Imperative Message on Forgiveness

A message on forgiveness. Many have read you're in your own prison, and the deep deception of not forgiving from that stand point. So I will not go into that here. That is not why we forgive (we don't forgive for self as Christians first) (we forgive because He forgave us first). But a result from not forgiving.

(Colossians 3:13) "Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye."

3:12 "Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies (let go of judgment, your own, compassion), kindness, humbleness of mind (lowly before God), meekness, longsuffering;

3:14-15 "And above all these things put on charity (love), which is the bond of perfectness (completeness).

(It all begins at forgiveness).

15And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful."

Forgiveness. This is a tough topic because many areas have to be covered. You have before being Christian, and after. You have how Christians deal with it after salvation. You have how Christians deal with other Christians and then unbelievers afterwards. This post showing the self-refuting (self-defeat, and through satan ultimately) concept of not forgiving in general before being a Christian/salvation and after. Now, tough for an unbeliever to relate as they have no frame of reference on conviction of truth about sin, thus no forgiveness. As we will investigate well-wishing is just a half-hearted disingenuous attempt to not deal with it and not forgiveness.

But a Christian can get caught up in this as well. Now forgiving someone does not mean sticking around to have it happen again if they themselves don't want to look for solutions. Christians are problem-solvers, peacemakers. As Christ explained in Matthew 18 we forgive them as bad as we wanted to be forgiven by the Lord. Yes, we will have to bare (long-suffering) with it sometimes. All avenues are to be exhausted. Please see Matthew 18 in order.

We get to God's Word (Matthew 18 as well, please look me up) as it solves any issue out of life (or the stones do cry out, walking right by them on that path of destruction). But that is only when one takes responsibility for their part. Yes, blame must be assigned correctly then repented of. I would hope so unless one is making it up according to their own standards? Without this process forgiveness cannot even happen. A very helpless situation that cannot be helped without the Lord and His Word.

Christian are peacemakers. So what about the world peace coming? Why do they not take part? It's fake for one. Because the forgiveness of sins is the beginning of peace! What the world rejects!

Christ told Christians to forgive one another after being Christian. Obviously, one can only have been to the cross to even know how to forgive another, and what to forgive them for in the first place. This is where God's will can begin to match our own will. (which won't be carried out otherwise, just a well-wisher, half-hearted). That is not good will towards will people. Stated below as well. A very important part, as people ask am I in God's will? Yes, at forgiveness of your sins then others.

Not doing so as we have stated before you can expect to be dealing with satan (Matthew 18:32-35), and evil spirits you bring on yourself by not forgiving (the last resort). This is for the persons own good (this subject is rarely taught because they don't know). Going back to square one because the cross to them is not getting the job done. After a bout or two with satan, that is evil spirits they will have had to go back to square one in the foundational name of Christ, the cross. If a person thinks not they are already defeated and self-defeated.

You're going to pay the price that you are rejecting. As Christ paid the price on the cross for you.



(Matthew 6:14-15) "But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."
15But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Note: this was after Christ said work it out, where two or three are gathered and He is there."

Moving on,

People, generally wish-well for others if you talk to them. But deep down without that forgiveness, the want for payback and hurt still goes on. Big problem there is no end to this payback as they are so uncontrollable over their own thoughts and actions. It only ends when there made up punishment says so. The problem is there is no end to that hypothetical as they have no guideline for the punishment in the first place. After all, the actions are not controllable at the cause, thus not the effect (cut it off that root, cause). They have not thought that far ahead to how it effects them and others.

Therefore, they cannot even carry out their own will. You can forget about doing God's will (our will becomes God's will at the cross). This is why we see much self-defeat, not able to follow through. The want to be can-do is there but cannot be accomplished because of the emotional roller coaster. This follow through is done by the Holy Spirit. Going from well-wisher to doer begins at the cross. Good will towards people in salvation first and growing as a Christian there forth.

The sad thing is the brother/sister in Christ (a Christian) you're not forgiving is forgiving you the whole time for not forgiving.

(Luke 17:1-3) "Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!

(Meaning they will come but those who teach them, woe to them. Woe to those who teach sin is okay. A huge difference there obviously. One is being in error. Which can be a temporary lapse in judgment as opposed to a continual rejection of God's laws and principals He says to follow. In other words, it's not even an after thought for them, they take no thought at all). 

2It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

3Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

(We sinned against them and have to admit it, repent = remorseful from sorrow, sorry about it).

Carrying out God's will can only happen when our sins are forgiven, then we forgive others for their sin. Otherwise, we live in revenge from the past, and do things out of spite of the other person the want to hurt them goes on. We cannot find purpose in what we do or in life. Now our deep-longings to really want to see well with people can be carried out. True and pure motives.

Therefore, all purpose in life begins with repentance of our sins and forgiveness with God first. principal and growing emotionally intelligent begin with Christ at the cross. Then the ability to even know how to forgive others, and then doing it. Because we have the foundational forgiveness instilled in us--through the Holy Spirit. Brotherly love with compassion (moving to feel for) which leads to mercy (letting them out of your judgment), then forgiveness.

Without faith, we're just well-wishers who cannot even carry out them wishes (we fight ourselves, our own soul), being in reality. As we think we're hurting the other person with this unforgiveness, that we wish well to begin with! What a mess we are?

Essentially God says, you cannot even understand unforgiveness within you, until you understand forgiveness from Him--we do not even how to forgive until we deal with ourselves first with the Lord, then others. Everything begins at repentance and the forgiveness of sins.

That begins with the knowledge (understanding what Father through Christ forgave you for) of saving faith †

God is all about reconciliation after repentance, and a wonderful thing. You want less wars on earth? Let it begin with you.

AMEN!!!
