Forgiveness requires participation






Failure is not realizing a weakness held in common as opportunity for Gods Glory. sw

Many songs have been written and thousands of sermons preached, yet until you’ve reached the full depth of forgiveness have you truly touched the heart of God. sw

1 Cor 1:25
For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength.

Your interpretation of love is the only thing that will put limits on the Love of God. Sw

Luke 7:47
Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven — for she loved much . But he who has been forgiven little loves little."

Once you’ve tasted true forgiveness the mercy of God is the only thing that can satisfy your inner hunger and thirst for more.  sw

Mark 2:17

"It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous , but sinners."

Divine wisdom is only able to teach those in need when it’s willing to share. Sw

Prov 9:10-12
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom , and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

For through me your days will be many, and years will be added to your life. If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you; if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer." 

1 John 4:17-21
There is no fear in love. 

But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 

We love because he first loved us. 

If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. 

And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother. 
NIV

How can a man obey the Gospel when he forgets who it was intended to reach. Sw

1 Peter 4:17-19
For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?

And,

"If it is hard for the righteous to be saved,
what will become of the ungodly and the sinner ?"  

So then, those who suffer according to God's will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
NIV

The only real cure for dead and dried bones is living water. sw

Luke 6:32-36

"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you?

Even 'sinners' love those who love them.

And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you?

Even 'sinners' do that.  

And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full.

But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back.

Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
NIV

True forgiveness is the best reward a man can give himself. Sw

Eph 5:28
He who loves his wife loves himself .

Accept the truth that Jesus Loved himself, yet with one exception not the way the fallen world could easily understand. sw


Luke 7:46-47

Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven — for she loved much . But he who has been forgiven little loves little."

The best “State” to live in is one that is willing to forgive. sw
