    More Focus On Forgiveness Series

    Contributed by Rick Crandall on May 18, 2024
     | 1,546 views

    Great Reasons why God wants us to forgive one another: 1. Our forgiveness helps pass God's grace on to others (vs. 29). 2. Not forgiving gives pain to God (vs. 30). 3. None of us is perfect (vs. 31-32). 4. We have God’s power at work in our hearts (vs. 31-32).

It is recorded in Matthew 5:10: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”i The reward declared in this final beatitude is the same as declared in the first ...read more

    We all have family and friends who are members of the local church and may not be a member of the universal church. So I feel the need to teach a little on what it means to be a member of the universal church.
