Help carry each other’s burdens. In this
way you will follow Christ’s teachings.(Galatians 6:2 – God’s Word Translation)

Because Jesus accepted
you,
you must accept others
![Page 8: Series relationship rescue - part 3 - f = forgiveness - 04-26-15 - prersentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a6ef8b1a28ab0b508b45b9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Christ accepted you, so you should
accept each other, which will
bring glory to God.
(Romans 15:7 – New Century Version)

BITTERNESS OR
FORGIVENESS WHICH WILL YOU CHOOSE?

Bitterness is like drinking
rat poison and waiting
for the rat to die.
(John Ortberg)

Watch out that no poisonous root of

Banish bitterness, rage and anger,
shouting and slander, and any and all
malicious thoughts—these are poison.
(Ephesians 4:21 – The Voice)

By all means don’t brag about being
wise and good if you are bitter . . .
that is the worst sort of lie.
(James 3:14 – Living Bible)

Bitterness is a poison and it
will always harm you

Bitterness is a cancer and it
will spread to everyone
![Page 20: Series relationship rescue - part 3 - f = forgiveness - 04-26-15 - prersentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a6ef8b1a28ab0b508b45b9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Bitterness is a sin and it will
lead you away from God

Do not seek revenge or hold a grudge
against anyone. Instead, love your
neighbor as you love yourself.
(Leviticus 19:18 – The Voice)
![Page 23: Series relationship rescue - part 3 - f = forgiveness - 04-26-15 - prersentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a6ef8b1a28ab0b508b45b9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
You can become bitter or
you can become better –
it’s your choice.
And forgiveness is the key.

FORGIVENESS =
CHARIZOMAI (GREEK)
![Page 26: Series relationship rescue - part 3 - f = forgiveness - 04-26-15 - prersentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a6ef8b1a28ab0b508b45b9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Freely show favor to, to grant
pardon, extend kindness,
unconditional mercy
![Page 27: Series relationship rescue - part 3 - f = forgiveness - 04-26-15 - prersentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a6ef8b1a28ab0b508b45b9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Forgive one another as quickly
and thoroughly as God in Christ
forgave you.
(Ephesians 4:32 – The Message)
![Page 28: Series relationship rescue - part 3 - f = forgiveness - 04-26-15 - prersentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a6ef8b1a28ab0b508b45b9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Try to understand other people. Forgive
each other. If you have something
against someone,
forgive him. That is the way
the Lord forgave you.
(Colossians 3:13 – New Life Version)
![Page 29: Series relationship rescue - part 3 - f = forgiveness - 04-26-15 - prersentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a6ef8b1a28ab0b508b45b9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
But if anyone has caused harm . . .
I encourage you to offer him
the grace of forgiveness . . .
![Page 30: Series relationship rescue - part 3 - f = forgiveness - 04-26-15 - prersentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a6ef8b1a28ab0b508b45b9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
So instead of continuing to ostracize
him, I urge you to demonstrate
your love for him once again.
(2 Corinthians 2:5-8 – The Voice)
![Page 31: Series relationship rescue - part 3 - f = forgiveness - 04-26-15 - prersentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a6ef8b1a28ab0b508b45b9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Forgiveness is remembering
how much you’ve
been forgiven
![Page 32: Series relationship rescue - part 3 - f = forgiveness - 04-26-15 - prersentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a6ef8b1a28ab0b508b45b9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The kingdom of God is like a king who
decided to square accounts with his
servants. One servant was brought
before him who had run up a debt of
a hundred thousand dollars.
![Page 33: Series relationship rescue - part 3 - f = forgiveness - 04-26-15 - prersentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a6ef8b1a28ab0b508b45b9/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
He couldn’t pay up, so the king ordered
the man, along with his wife, children,
and goods, to be auctioned off at the
slave market. “The poor wretch threw
himself at the king’s feet and begged,
![Page 34: Series relationship rescue - part 3 - f = forgiveness - 04-26-15 - prersentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a6ef8b1a28ab0b508b45b9/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
‘Give me a chance and I’ll pay it all
back.’ Touched by his plea, the king let
him off, erasing the debt. “The servant
was no sooner out of the room when he
came upon one of his fellow servants
who owed him ten dollars.
![Page 35: Series relationship rescue - part 3 - f = forgiveness - 04-26-15 - prersentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a6ef8b1a28ab0b508b45b9/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
He seized him by the throat and
demanded, ‘Pay up. Now!’ “The
poor wretch threw himself down and
begged, ‘Give me a chance and I’ll pay
it all back.’ But he wouldn’t do it.
![Page 36: Series relationship rescue - part 3 - f = forgiveness - 04-26-15 - prersentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a6ef8b1a28ab0b508b45b9/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
He had him arrested and put in jail until
the debt was paid. When the other
servants saw this going on,
they were outraged and brought a
detailed report to the king. “The king
summoned the man and said,
![Page 37: Series relationship rescue - part 3 - f = forgiveness - 04-26-15 - prersentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a6ef8b1a28ab0b508b45b9/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
‘You evil servant! I forgave your entire
debt when you begged me for mercy.
Shouldn’t you be compelled to be
merciful to your fellow servant who
asked for mercy?’
![Page 38: Series relationship rescue - part 3 - f = forgiveness - 04-26-15 - prersentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a6ef8b1a28ab0b508b45b9/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
‘The king was furious and put the
screws to the man until he paid back
his entire debt.
![Page 39: Series relationship rescue - part 3 - f = forgiveness - 04-26-15 - prersentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a6ef8b1a28ab0b508b45b9/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
And that’s exactly what my Father
is going to do to each one of you
who doesn’t forgive unconditionally
anyone who asks for mercy.
(Matthew 18:23-34 – The Message)
![Page 40: Series relationship rescue - part 3 - f = forgiveness - 04-26-15 - prersentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a6ef8b1a28ab0b508b45b9/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Forgiveness is relinquishing
your right to get even
![Page 41: Series relationship rescue - part 3 - f = forgiveness - 04-26-15 - prersentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a6ef8b1a28ab0b508b45b9/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Forgiveness is repeating the
process as long as
necessary
![Page 42: Series relationship rescue - part 3 - f = forgiveness - 04-26-15 - prersentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a6ef8b1a28ab0b508b45b9/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Forgiven people forgive people.
That is the starting point for
genuine forgiveness. If you
don’t feel forgiven,
![Page 43: Series relationship rescue - part 3 - f = forgiveness - 04-26-15 - prersentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a6ef8b1a28ab0b508b45b9/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
you won’t want to forgive
anybody else. If you’re hard on
yourself, you’re going to be
hard on others. But the more
grace you receive from God,
![Page 44: Series relationship rescue - part 3 - f = forgiveness - 04-26-15 - prersentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a6ef8b1a28ab0b508b45b9/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
the more gracious you’re
going to be to others. The more
forgiven you feel by God,
the more forgiving you’ll be
toward others.
![Page 45: Series relationship rescue - part 3 - f = forgiveness - 04-26-15 - prersentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a6ef8b1a28ab0b508b45b9/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
How can you tell when you’ve
really forgiven somebody?
When you can look at that
person’s hurt and not just your
own and pray for God to bless
![Page 46: Series relationship rescue - part 3 - f = forgiveness - 04-26-15 - prersentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a6ef8b1a28ab0b508b45b9/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
him or her. You ask, “How could
I ever do that for the person
who’s hurt me?” You can’t
unless you allow the love of
God to penetrate your life.
![Page 47: Series relationship rescue - part 3 - f = forgiveness - 04-26-15 - prersentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a6ef8b1a28ab0b508b45b9/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Only the love of God can help
you do something like that.
![Page 48: Series relationship rescue - part 3 - f = forgiveness - 04-26-15 - prersentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a6ef8b1a28ab0b508b45b9/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

Let’s Pray
