"Forgive as the Lord forgave you." - So we can be a united body in Christ - It reflects on witness of the body of Christ if we do not forgive. Does that mean it's easy. Often it's not for me. But God has been showing me lately how to be more patient, gentle and humble - so I don't ALSO have to ask forgiveness for whatever the offense is on top of forgiving. Why should we forgive?
- Christ’s example … “Forgive as the Lord forgave you.”
- So we can be a united body in Christ
- It reflects on witness of the body of Christ if we do not forgive.

Does that mean it’s easy. Often it’s not for me. But God has been showing me lately how to be more patient, gentle and humble – so I don’t ALSO have to ask forgiveness for whatever the offense is on top of forgiving.
