Four Steps Towards Forgiveness By Rick Warren "Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." Ephesians 4:31-32 (NIV) If you're like most people, you might have some misconceptions about what it means to forgive. And, because you don't understand forgiveness, you find it really difficult to forgive. As a follower of Jesus, you need to understand forgiveness. The Bible clearly calls Christians to forgive. Galatians 6:1 says, "Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently" (NIV). So, if God expects you to forgive others, what does healthy, biblical forgiveness look like? Here are four things you should do when you need to forgive someone. Don't sit another day in your resentment. If you've been holding on to pain caused by someone else, go through these four steps and move on to the life you were created to live!
