Essentials of Forgiveness Genesis 50

Four important steps to completely forgive someone.

A. Freely Forgiving: (Genesis 15-17)

    • You could have taken revenge.


B. Fully Forgiving: (Genesis 18-20)

    • You could have taken advantage of
      those who hurt you.


C. Friendly Forgiving: (Genesis 21)

    • You could have ignored them.

D. Forgetful Forgiving:(Genesis 22-26)

    • You could have nurtured your pain so that you couldn’t trust them at all.

Have you ever really forgiven someone, not when you must, but when you chose to forgive?
