The Grace Response

Grace should shape our responses to hurt. This is an action—focus on God’s forgiveness not the pain.“Be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4:32 nlt)

We have been forgiven of our sins by grace through Jesus Christ. We are to forgive others. Be vigilant that bitterness isn’t growing in your heart because of lack of forgiveness.

“Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord. Look after each other so that none of you fails to receive the grace of God. Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many.” (Hebrews 12:14–15 nlt)

 Will you choose to forgive? How much has God forgiven you? 
 
What grudge are you holding right now?
 
Will you choose to give grace and forgive this week?
 
Don't miss God's grace...
