Forgive Others, As Christ Has Forgiven

2 Cor 2:9-11
9The reason I wrote you was to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in everything. 10If you forgive anyone, I also forgive him. And what I have forgiven—if there was anything to forgive—I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, 11in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.


Forgiveness is a powerful thing. Here, Paul urges the people to forgive, and to do so in obedience.

The most forgiveness is when Christ forgave us for our sins. How much more are we to forgive others.

Father God, I pray for your forgiveness for myself. I know that my sins are putting me farther from your grace and your Spirit, but I pray by the blood of Christ, that you may forgive me. I also pray for forgiveness of others. I know that I need to forgive others, so I ask that you give me the heart to forgive those who need forgiveness. I want to be right in Your eyes. I pray this in Jesus name.
Amen.
