Does It Really Work? | Week 4 | Does Forgiveness Really Work? | Pastor Tyler Sollie | Life Center Tacoma
Forgiveness isn't a FEELING
“Forgiveness is granted (often a good while) before it is felt—not felt before it is granted. It is a promise to not exact the price of sin from the person who hurt you."
"If you wait to feel it before you grant it, you’ll never grant it; you’ll be in an anger prison.”
-Tim Keller
Colossians 3:12-13 (CSB)
For a Jesus follower, FORGIVENESS isn't OPTIONAL
Forgiveness is HARD WORK because it is HEART WORK
Matthew 18:21-35 (CSB)
Forgiveness is not the same as RESTORATION
Amos 3:3 (CSB)
The PRICE of forgiveness is FREE and the PRODUCT of forgiveness is FREEDOM
“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.”
-Tim Keller
