Colossians 3:12-13
Lesson # 9

Hey!

For this week's Bible study, can I just share with you these two verses?

"So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you." (Colossians 3:12-13, NASB)

Question:
Who are you having a hard time forgiving today?
What is stopping you?

Take it to the Lord, and in light of this Scripture passage, ask Him to help you forgive that person - "just as the Lord forgave you."

If we understand this passage, we will see that our capacity for forgiving others occurs in part as a result of our cultivating "a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience."

Forgiveness is a challenge, but one God knows and understands.
If it is important to Him, it is important to us!
