Join Us for Lesson Night
Tuesday at 6:30 PM!
In Celebrate Recovery Lesson 17: Forgiveness, this CR lesson is about understanding the three kinds of forgiveness: (1) God’s forgiveness, (2) the forgiveness to others, and (3) the forgiveness of yourself.
One way that you can forgive yourself is by turning to God. In Isaiah 1:18-19, we are urged to talk things over with the Lord. It doesn’t matter what kind of sin you have committed because He is more than willing to listen; He wants to hear from you, in fact. The Lord will make you new!
Also, He already knows what you have done; it’s no big secret. Why not come clean. Letting it out will help you forgive yourself. Romans 8:1 tells us that there is no condemnation for those of us who are in Christ Jesus, so what are you waiting for??
Principle 6: Evaluate all my relationships. Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I’ve done to others when possible, except when to do so would harm them or others. (Steps 8 and 9)
“Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” (Matthew 5:7)
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” (Matthew 5:9)
Step 8: We made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.
“Do to others as you would have them do to you.” (Luke 6:31)
Step 9: We made direct amends to such people whenever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
“Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you; leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.” (Matthew 5:23-24)
