forgive others

Ephesians 4:32
"And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."

"Where are your accusers?" Jesus asked the woman that the scribes and Pharisees wanted to stone to death. They all left her alone with Jesus. One day we will all be in her position, alone with Jesus, and all our accusers will have walked away. Until then, we need to take today's verse to heart and make the here and now a better place.

Keep in mind that we are often our own worst "accuser." We might even withhold forgiveness from ourselves. We need to reset the past. We can't change it. No one should condemn you, not even you.

We might need to forgive GOD. We can be bitter over a death, an illness or some other way, we feel that God let us down. We often struggle with God. God can take our questions and fears. We need to ask GOD our questions and then surrender to His will.

We need to forgive others. We are sinners and humans. We are not perfect. We can be bitter over how others hurt us. Jesus instructs us to forgive 7×70 times! That's not easy, we need to pray and ask for God's help. Work to restore wrongs. Forgive and be set free. Holding on to grudges will hurt you. Don't let your past define your future. Become a healthy functioning Christian. Learn from Jesus' lessons. Stand with Jesus, and He will be with you until the end of time. He will ask "Where are your accusers?" And, they will have all left.

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!

we also...

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...
