    A Rebuke To Forgiveness-Only Salvation

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Sep 30, 2025
     | 152 views

    This is a challenging passage. Surely Paul doesn't mean that we have to actually live like that?! What it all points us to is a false gospel that is too often preached today - "forgiveness-only" belief. What does this passage tell us about what real salvation looks like?

    A COMMON BELIEF TODAY: I am “saved” and unchanged. - Matthew 7:15-20; Matthew 7:24-27; Luke 13:6-9; John 15:8. - This passage makes us uncomfortable. It sounds harsh and unrealistic. We will delve into how we are to understand it as we move forward. - A good place to start is a major reason why ...read more

    "forgive And Forget" Series

    Contributed by Fred Sigle on Jan 12, 2023
     | 2,758 views

    When Paul said that we are to "forgive others as God in Christ forgives us" (Ephesians 4:32), does God actually forget our sins that He forgave? God forgets nothing, but He will not hold our sins against us.

    A. Ephesians 4:32- “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” ILLUSTRATION: Charles Swindoll tells the story of a Jewish rabbi named Saul Rosenberg, who one day did something really STUPID that terribly UPSET his wife, Ethel.

    Sermon # 36 - Learning To Forgive Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 20, 2024
     | 494 views

    Jonah was happy to receive God’s forgiveness for his disobedience, but was unhappy when God did the same for the people of Nineveh who repented of their sins. Jesus paid with his life for our forgiveness, and God expects us to extend this same forgiveness to those who wrong us in any way.

    For our meditation we will study Jonah 4:1, “Jonah was very unhappy about this and became angry.” (GNB) When the prophet Jonah preached to the people in the city of Nineveh, they took his words seriously, repented, and had a change of heart. God relented from punishing the people of Nineveh, and ...read more

    In order to accomplish the divine command to forgive one another, you must first learn to live your life in prayer and intercession as Jesus commanded.

    "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you that you may be sons of your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:44) Forgiveness will flow freely to a cold world only from a heart that is warmed by God’s love. Praying for those who have hurt you proves that you are a child of God and ...read more
