The Daily Necessity of Forgiveness
"Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you" (Ephesians 4:32 nlt).
We need forgiveness every day because we sin every day. Maybe you're thinking, "I don't know that I really sinned today."
Well, can you think of a single impure thought you had? Did you lose your temper even once? The Bible tells us, "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us" (1 John 1:8 nkjv).
The passage goes on to say, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (verse 9 nkjv).
In what we often call the Lord's Prayer, Jesus taught us to pray, "Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us" (Luke 11:3–4 nkjv).
Jesus was saying that we not only should pray for our daily bread, but we should be praying for and extending forgiveness every day. God wants us to forgive others. |
