Growing in the maturity of forgiveness

Today we will be exploring the topic of forgiveness, and how forgiveness is a quality that comes from a mature heart, a heart that knows and understands how powerful forgiveness is.Yeshua stated it this way: "Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven." Luke 6:36-37This teaching of Yeshua instructs us to not criticize or condemn others. It also highlights several different aspects of judgment and forgiveness.Below are some helpful timestamps of the main thoughts in today's episode:01:19 UNIVERSAL BALANCE AND EQUITY04:32 FORGIVENESS: THE OTHER SIDE OF JUDGMENT08:39 GOD'S JUDGMENT AND FORGIVENESS CONTRASTED IN NEHEMIAH13:30 LEAVING JUDGMENT AND VENGEANCE TO GODIf you enjoyed this weeks podcast, be sure to visit coreofthebible.org to join the conversation through comments, to see daily blog posts on these topics, and to find free downloadable resources regarding the message of the Bible reduced to its simplest form.Have questions about todays topic, or comments or insights you would like to share?
