Opening Scripture: Colossians 3:13 (NLT)
Study
Forgiveness is one of the most difficult yet essential aspects of Christian living. Paul instructs believers to “make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.” True forgiveness does not mean ignoring wrongs or pretending they did not happen. Instead, it means releasing the burden of resentment and trusting God’s justice. When we forgive, we reflect Christ’s sacrifice for us.
